We present a pseudospectral technique to efficiently compute numerical solutions to large-scale time-dependent and steady-state problems, with anisotropic scattering. A perfectly matched layer is proposed which allows this method to be applied in arbitrarily complex heterogeneous media. Our GPU-accelerated implementation of the technique is validated by comparison with a Monte-Carlo simulation, demonstrating excellent agreement.}, author = {Powell, S and Cox, BT and Arridge, SR} }
