photon number #27

Hi,

It said: "The total number of photon packets launched 10^6 by default" in the paper called "ValoMC: a Monte Carlo software and MATLAB toolbox for simulating light transport in biological tissue". I was wondering what the time window of this 10^6 is or if it depends on your PC.

Thanks

Hi. The time it takes to simulate 10^6 photon packets depends at least on the mesh geometry, values of absorption and scattering coefficients and their distributions, and on your PC. In typical setting this could mean maybe 10 seconds, but the more complicated geometry you have, the slower it becomes, and it is impossible to give a general estimate.

Thank you so much for your quick reply!
