Frequency Domain Optical Tomography Based on the Equation of Radiative Transfer
TLDR
Numerical simulations with synthetic data show that the cross-talk between the two optical parameters is significantly reduced in reconstructions based on frequency-domain data as compared to those based on steady-state data.
Optical tomography in medical imaging
We present a review of methods for the forward and inverse problems in optical tomography. We limit ourselves to the highly scattering case found in applications in medical imaging, and to the…
