A born-type approximation method for bioluminescence tomography.
In this paper, we present a Born-type approximation method for bioluminescence tomography (BLT), which is to reconstruct an internal bioluminescent source from the measured bioluminescent signal on the external surface of a small animal. Based on the diffusion approximation for the photon propagation in biological tissue, this BLT method utilizes the Green function to establish a linear relatio...
متن کاملPractical reconstruction method for bioluminescence tomography.
Bioluminescence tomography (BLT) is used to localize and quantify bioluminescent sources in a small living animal. By advancing bioluminescent imaging to a tomographic framework, it helps to diagnose diseases, monitor therapies and facilitate drug development. In this paper, we establish a direct linear relationship between measured surface photon density and an unknown bioluminescence source d...
متن کاملMonte Carlo method for bioluminescence tomography.
Bioluminescence imaging plays an important role in the areas of cancer biology, cell biology, gene therapy, and so on. The 2D planar bioluminescent imaging has been transformed into a 3D framework by bioluminescence tomography (BLT) that enables bioluminescent source reconstruction in a mouse using a modality fusion approach. To solve this BLT problem, a geometrical model of the mouse is usuall...
متن کاملNumerical approximation of bioluminescence tomography based on a new formulation
Bioluminescence tomography (BLT) is a promising new method in biomedical imaging. The BLT problem is an ill-posed inverse source problem, usually studied through a regularization technique. A new approach is proposed for solving the BLT problem based on an adjoint equation. Numerical examples show that the new formulation allows us to obtain accurate solutions.
متن کاملUniqueness, Born Approximation, and Numerical Methods for Diffuse Optical Tomography
Diffuse optical tomogrpahy (DOT) is to find optical coefficients of tissue using near infrared light. DOT as an inverse problem is described and the studies about unique determination of optical coefficients are summarized. If a priori information of the optical coefficient is known, DOT is reformulated to find a perturbation of the optical coefficients inverting the Born expansion which is an ...
