A nonlinear, Bayesian optimization scheme is presented for reconstructing fluorescent yield and lifetime, the absorption coefficient, and the diffusion coefficient in turbid media, such as biological tissue. The method utilizes measurements at both the excitation and the emission wavelengths to reconstruct all unknown parameters. The effectiveness of the reconstruction algorithm is demonstrated...

A reconstruction method of bioluminescence sources is proposed based on a phase approximation model. Compared with the diffuse approximation, this phase approximation model more correctly predicts bioluminescence photon propagation in biological tissues, so that bioluminescence tomography can accurately locate and quantify the distribution of bioluminescence sources. The compressive sensing (CS...

Optical pump-probe setups are commonly used for excitation and investigation of the spin dynamics in various types magnetic materials. Usually spatially homogeneous is considered, but here authors describe optical $n\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}o\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}n\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}u\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}n\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}i\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}f\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}o\phantom{\rul...

Between 2011 and 2015, the ENTERVISION Marie Curie Initial Training Network has been training 15 young researchers from a variety of backgrounds on topics ranging from in-beam Positron Emission Tomography or Single Particle Tomography techniques, to adaptive treatment planning, optical imaging, Monte Carlo simulations and biological phantom design. This article covers the main research activiti...

This study examined the feasibility of quantitatively evaluating multiple biokinetic models and established the validity of the different compartment models using an assembled water phantom. Most commercialized phantoms are made to survey the imaging system since this is essential to increase the diagnostic accuracy for quality assurance. In contrast, few customized phantoms are specifically ma...

Photoacoustic spectroscopy has the potential to make non-invasive, spatially resolved measurements of absolute chromophore concentrations. This has a wide range of possible applications, for example the mapping of endogenous chromophores such as oxy(HbO2) and deoxyhaemoglobin (HHb) or externally administered contrast agents designed to target specific tissues or molecular processes. In this stu...
