@article{Khan2005InversePI, title={Inverse problem in refractive index based optical tomography}, author={Taufiquar R. Khan and Alan Thomas}, journal={Inverse Problems}, year={2005}, volume={22}, pages={1121-1137} }
In optical tomography, conventionally the diffusion approximation to the radiative transport equation (RTE) with a constant refractive index is used to image highly scattering or turbid media. Diffusion optical tomography with a constant refractive index is rather difficult due to the exponential instability of the inverse problem. Therefore, it is beneficial to find a simple yet stable model that adequately describes the physics of radiative transport, for example, refractive index based…
