An algorithm for numerical simulation of optical structure disturbance of biomedical objects is described. The key features of the presented algorithm are: posterization of CT or MRI scans, subsequent encoding and manual identification of each biological tissue, assigning it tabular optical properties. The described algorithm can be used in diffuse optical tomography (DOT) for numerical simulation of optical properties of biomedical objects of their constituent with variable spatial resolution. Numerical simulation showed that the presented algorithm allows us to describe the optical structure of biological tissue with data validity >90%.
