Spherically symmetric geometry. Both the heterogeneous kernel model and FEM are used to solved the diffusion equation in a spherically symmetric geometry. Optical properties resemble that of a prostate is used with the point source positioned at the center of the sphere. Agreement between these two methods is clearly observed as the ratio of the fluence rate obtained using these two methods being approximately 1.
