Abstract
The surface integral formalism is used to derive the integral equations for the scattering of diffusive waves, which account for the contribution of o bject boundaries and interfaces between media and which are numerically sol ved without approximations. The extinction theorem and other surface integr al theorems for diffusive waves are introduced to obtain the boundary value s of both the photon density wave and the photon density current. We presen t this theory and apply it to the simulation of diffusive objects buried in diffusive media in the presence of rough interfaces.
