Abstract
The frequency domain (FD) radiative transfer equation (RTE) for fluorescence excitation and emission is implemented on block-structured grids. The numerical grid is adaptively refined near boundaries to accurately represent tissue of arbitrary shape using only Cartesian-type grids of varying refinement. The algorithm for the FD-RTE on block-structured grids is tested on a homogeneous numerical phantom with tissue like optical properties.
