We present the results of numerical modeling of passage of ultrashort laser pulses through an inhomogeneous layered medium with moving scatterers, based on solution of the nonsteady-state radiation transport equation by the Monte Carlo method. We consider the effects of Doppler broadening of the backscattered radiation spectrum in biological tissues. We have analyzed the dynamics of propagation of a short laser pulse within a multilayer model of human skin. We have studied the possibilities for tomography of different layers of biological tissue based on analysis of the spectrum of the scattered radiation pulse.
