چکیده

An approach for the fast localization and detection of an absorbing inhomogeneity in a tissuelike scattering medium is presented. The probability of detection as a function of the size, location, and absorptive properties of the inhomogeneity is investigated. The detection sensitivity in relation to the source and detector location serves as a basis for instrument design.

Interaction of laminar natural convection and radiation in an inclined square cavity containing participating gases

Two-dimensional numerical study of flow and temperature fields for laminar natural convection and radiation in the inclined cavity is performed in the present work. The walls of the square cavity are assumed kept at constant temperatures. An absorbing, emitting, and scattering gray medium is enclosed by the opaque and diffusely emitting walls. The set of governing equations, including conservat...

Rapid Detection of Inhomogeneity in a Tissue Phantom

Detecting inhomogeneity in a turbid tissue using optical tomography technique as a non-invasive tool is of paramount importance in imaging and diagnosis of diseases and tissue abnormalities. In our approach, an ultrafast laser is used as the detecting source and the backscattered light signals are collected around the boundary of the target. We have developed a Monte Carlo program used to simul...

Ultrafast Laser Pulse Train Radiation Transfer in a Scattering-absorbing 3d Medium with an Inhomogeneity

The advent of ultrafast lasers has opened the window for many emerging applications. Specifi c applications in biomedicine include optical tomography (Yamada, 1995), tissue ablation (Sajjadi et al., 2013), tumor diagnostics (Bhowmik et al., 2014), thermal treatment (Jiao and Guo, 2009), to name a few. Recently, an excellent review on advances in the computational modeling of ultrafast radiative...

Interfering diffusive photon-density waves with an absorbing-fluorescent inhomogeneity.

This work reports an investigation of the fluorescent field re-emitted by an object embedded in a highly scattering media illuminated by two-interfering sources. Simulations in the frequency domain with a finite difference method solving the diffusion equation were performed. The media considered had features typical of a soft-compressed breast. An absorbing-fluorescent inhomogeneity was embedd...

Reconstructing a thin absorbing obstacle in a half-space of tissue.

We solve direct and inverse obstacle-scattering problems in a half-space composed of a uniform absorbing and scattering medium. Scattering is sharply forward-peaked, so we use the modified Fokker-Planck approximation to the radiative transport equation. The obstacle is an absorbing inhomogeneity that is thin with respect to depth. Using the first Born approximation, we derive a method to recove...
