A self consistent multiple scattering theory is reviewed for wave propagation in a solid or fluid host medium containing a statistical distribution of inhomogeneities, either pores or inclusions. The scattering properties of each inhomogeneity is characterized by the T- matrix which is represented in a convenient set of basis functions. The quasi crystalline approximation is invoked to break the infinite hierarchy that results for the coherent field when averaged over the position of individual scatterers. However, the effects of pair correlation are included so that concentrations as high as 40 \% by volume can be considered.
