Abstract

The classical reciprocity relation of radiative transfer fails for two points placed in regions having different indices ofrefraction. A modified reciprocity relation that involves the relative refractive index between the two points con-sidered was previously derived for the continuous wave (cw) radiative transfer equation and for the cw diffusionequation (DE) [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 14, 486 (1997)]. In this paper, we extend these findings to the time-dependent DEand we discuss some implications to diffuse optical tomography.
