To compute by the Monte Carlo method the light scattering by a whole blood layer, with due regard for the formation of linear cell aggregates whose length varies in the course of aggregation in accordance with the gamma distribution, a model and a computer program are developed. The time dependence of the scattering signal intensity for various scattering albedo values is computed and the aggregation rate is estimated. While linear cell aggregates are being formed, the computed aggregation kinetics results agree well with the experimental data.
