Diffuse Optical Tomography based on Simplified Spherical Harmonics Approximation
The use of higher order approximations to the Radiative transport equation, through simplified spherical harmonics expansion (SPN) in optical tomography are presented. At higher orders, the image reconstruction becomes highly under-determined due to the large increase in the number of unknowns which cannot be adequately recovered. However, reconstruction of diffuse parameters, namely optical ab...
متن کاملAnalytical solutions of the simplified spherical harmonics equations.
We derived analytical solutions of the simplified spherical harmonics equations, an approximation of the radiative transfer equation, for infinitely extended scattering media. The derived equations are simple (sum of exponential functions) and quickly evaluated. We compared the solutions with Monte Carlo simulations in the steady-state and time domains and found much better agreement compared t...
متن کاملA parallel adaptive finite element simplified spherical harmonics approximation solver for frequency domain fluorescence molecular imaging.
Fluorescence molecular imaging/tomography may play an important future role in preclinical research and clinical diagnostics. Time- and frequency-domain fluorescence imaging can acquire more measurement information than the continuous wave (CW) counterpart, improving the image quality of fluorescence molecular tomography. Although diffusion approximation (DA) theory has been extensively applied...
متن کاملLight transport in biological tissue using three-dimensional frequency-domain simplified spherical harmonics equations.
The accuracy of the commonly used diffusion approximation as used in diffuse optical tomography is known to be limited in cases involving strong absorption and in these situations a higher ordered approximation is necessary. In this study, a light transport model has been developed based upon the three-dimensional frequency-domain simplified spherical harmonics (SP(N)) approximation for orders ...
متن کاملImage reconstruction in diffuse optical tomography based on simplified spherical harmonics approximation.
The use of higher order approximations to the Radiative transport equation, through simplified spherical harmonics expansion (SP(N)) in optical tomography are presented. It is shown that, although the anisotropy factor can be modeled in the forward problem, its sensitivity to the measured boundary data is limited to superficial regions and more importantly, due to uniqueness of the inverse prob...
