Fast calculation of multipath diffusive reflectance in optical coherence tomography

We show how to efficiently calculate the signal in optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems due to the ballistic photons, the quasi-ballistic photons, and the photons that undergo multiple diffusive scattering using Monte Carlo simulations with importance sampling. This method enables the calculat...
