The article discusses various approaches to modeling the processes of light scattering in biological tissues. The analytical radiation transfer equation, the Tversky approach, the Bethe–Salpeter equation, and the ladder approximation are considered. For cases of single scattering, the Kubelka–Munk approach, the diffusion approximation, and the small perturbation method are presented. The mathematical principles of the considered methods are disclosed in the paper and the limits of applicability in solving the radiation transfer equation are analyzed.

This paper presents a review of the phenomena regarding light-tissue interactions, especially absorption and scattering. The most important mathematical approaches for modeling the light transport in tissues and their domain of application: “first-order scattering,” “Kubelka-Munk theory,” “diffusion approximation,” “Monte Carlo simulation,” “inverse adding-doubling” and “finite element method” are briefly described.
