For improvement of diffuse optical tomography, one needs a numerical model to compute photon propagation accurately and efficiently. Thus, in the paper, we construct a hybrid model based on the radiative transfer equation (RTE) and diffusion equation (DE) in the time domain under the refractive-index-mismatching at boundary. At first, a fictive interface between the RTE and DE regions is determined, which is characterized by a length scale ρDA. By comparing the fluence rate calculated based on the RTE to that on the DE, we estimate ρDA at ~10/μt, where μt denotes the extinction coefficient. Next, we determine a coefficient representing the reflectivity in the Robin boundary condition of the DE by analyzing the fluence rates in the domain outside ρDA. Then, the hybrid model is constructed by using the determinations. The fluence rates based on this hybrid algorithm is consistent with those on the RTE in a whole range of the medium and computational costs are reduced efficiently.
