摘要: In this letter the authors highlight presence of an error appearing in discussion note 'The use Henyey-Greenstein phase function Monte Carlo simulations biomedical optics' previously published by them (Binzoni et al 2006 Phys. Med. Biol. 51 N313). light error, and conclusions original paper are revised role functions MC simulations, interpreted probabilistic terms, is better clarified. The exact definition for probability density deflection angle, case model, also given.
