Abstract

It is shown that the solution of the nonstationary diffusion equation by the Rytov method of smooth perturbations can be represented in the form of a path integral taken along the mean photon trajectory. This form is convenient for the tomographic reconstruction of the distribution of macroinhomogeneities in a strongly scattering medium.
