Area of Science:

Biomedical Optics
Computational Physics
Medical Imaging

Background:

Time-resolved spectroscopy is crucial for determining tissue optical properties.
Previous White Monte Carlo (WMC) simulations faced scaling challenges.
The diffusion approximation may fail in low albedo regimes, leading to inaccurate scattering and absorption estimations.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a fully scalable White Monte Carlo (WMC) scheme for evaluating time-resolved spectroscopy experiments.
To address limitations of previous WMC methods and the diffusion approximation in low albedo conditions.
To investigate in vivo optical properties of human prostate tissue.

Main Methods:

Developed a novel, scalable White Monte Carlo (WMC) scheme by individually storing detection events.
Implemented WMC as a forward solver for time-resolved spectroscopy data.
Modeled both interstitial (infinite) and noninvasive (semi-infinite) geometries.
Explored the low albedo regime of time-domain photon migration.

Main Results:

The new WMC scheme effectively avoids previously reported scaling problems.
The method accurately models photon migration in both infinite and semi-infinite geometries.
WMC analysis in the low albedo regime provides more reliable optical property measurements for prostate tissue.
Experimental data validated the WMC findings.

Conclusions:

The novel scalable WMC method offers a robust solution for time-resolved spectroscopy analysis.
This approach accurately captures photon migration dynamics, particularly in low albedo scenarios where diffusion theory falters.
WMC-based evaluation is advantageous for determining in vivo optical properties, as supported by experimental validation.
