Abstract
The surface integral formalism is used here to derive the integral equations for the scattering of diffusive waves, which are numerically solved without approximations. The Extinction Theorem for diffusive waves is here introduced to obtain the boundary values of both the wave photon density and the current photon density. We apply this theory to the simulation of diffusive objects buried in diffusive media in the presence of interfaces, and study the effect caused by the variation of the contrast between the two semi-infinite media.
