We study a deterministic method for particle transport in tissue in selected medical applications. Generalized Fokker-Planck (GFP) theory has been developed to improve the Fokker-Planck (FP) equation in cases where scattering is forward-peaked and where there is a sufficient amount of large-angle scattering. We compare grid-based numerical solutions to Fokker-Planck and Generalized Fokker-Planck (GFP) in realistic applications. Electron dose calculations in heterogeneous parts of the human body are performed. Accurate electron scattering cross sections are therefore included and their incorporation in our model is extensively described. Moreover, we solve GFP approximations of the radiative transport equation to investigate reflectance and transmittance of light in tissue. All results are compared with either Monte Carlo or discrete-ordinates transport solutions.
