摘要

This paper has been thought to describe a numerical algorithm, based on the expansion in orders of scattering, for solving the steady Boltzmann transport equation for photons, and to show some subsequent numerical results which have been obtained by developing an own MATLAB (R) code. The spatial domain is assumed to be a rectangular-shaped container with air and a water phantom inside, albeit the method can be extended to arbitrarily shaped convex domains filled with some other heterogeneous material. High energy x-rays enter the domain through a small rectangle located on its upper face.
