发明名称 Method of, System for, and Medical Image Acquisition System for Imaging an Interior of a Turbid Medium Taking Into Account the Geometry of the Turbid Medium
摘要 The invention relates to a method of imaging an interior of a turbid medium (45) comprising the following steps: accommodation of the turbid medium (45) inside a receiving volume; coupling transmission input light (65) from a transmission light source into the receiving volume, with said transmission input light (65) being chosen such that it is capable of propagating through the turbid medium (45); detection of transmission output light emanating from the receiving volume as a result of coupling transmission input light from the light source into the receiving volume through use of a transmission photodetector unit. The invention also relates to a system for imaging an interior of a turbid medium (45) and to a medical image acquisition system both using the method. The method, system, and medical image acquisition system are adapted such that an improved way of obtaining data relating to the exterior of the turbid medium (45) is realized. The object of the invention is realized in that the method further comprises the following steps:-coupling geometry input light (70, 75, 80) from a geometry light source into the receiving volume, with the receiving volume comprising the turbid medium (45) and with the combination of the geometry input light (70, 75, 80) and the interface (60) being chosen for creating a contrast between the turbid medium (45) and its surroundings; detection of the contrast (60) between the turbid medium (45) and its surroundings through use of a contrast photodetector unit; reconstructing an image of an interior of the turbid medium (45) using a the detected contrast (60). The system for imaging an interior of a turbid medium (45) and the medical image acquisition device are adapted to further comprise a geometry light source and a contrast photodetector unit.
