Abstract
Integral equations that describe scattering on the structure with stependly changing physical parameters, have been numerically solved on example of the trabecular bone model. The model consists of several hundred elements with randomly selected parameters. The spectral distribution of scatter coefficients in subsequent orders of scattering has been presented.
