The Impact of Autonomic Dysreflexia on Blood Flow and Skin Response in Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury
Figure 2
Monte Carlo simulation of light propagation in tissue. The different contours represent the
number of photons reaching different depths (bin). In the insert, a pictorial
description of our approach, every time a photon reaches a particular location
the bin values are increased (+1). The graphs shows
that photons will reach depths as far as mm and still be able to return to the
collection fiber. An averaging filter ( pixels in size) was used to smooth the figure
and to generate legible contours; the general trend shown in the graph did not
change with the addition of the filter.
