Abstract

Monte Carlo methods are the gold standard in modeling light propagation through complex turbid tissues. However, with the advent of structured light illumination applications, it is becoming crucial to implement fast and efficient methods to simulate arbitrary wide-field sources over large surface areas. Herein, we improve upon our previous mesh-based Monte Carlo method by enabling the simulation of an extended range of wide-field illumination strategies using a computationally efficient mesh re-tessellation technique.
