SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TOMOGRAPHIC IMAGING OF DYNAMIC PROPERTY OF SCATTERING MEDIUM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for a detection and three dimensional imaging of absorption and scattering properties of a medium such as human tissue.

SOLUTION: According to one embodiment of the invention, the system directs optical energy toward a turbid medium from at least one source and detects optical energy from the turbid medium at a plurality of locations using at least one detector (106). The optical energy emerging from the medium (102) which originates from the source and enters the detector (106) is scattered in the medium (102). The system then generates an image representing interior structure of the turbid medium based on the detected optical energy emerging from the medium (102). Generation of the image includes a time-series analysis.
