Presented is a calculation of the most likely path for a charged particle traversing a uniform medium and suffering multiple-Coulomb scattering when the entrance and exit positions and angles are known. The effects of ionization energy loss are included and the results are verified using Monte Carlo simulation. The application to proton computed tomography is discussed.
