Continuous wave optical imaging assuming a scatter-law

摘要

There is provided a method and a system for determining the concentration of chromophores and reconstructing images in turbid media, such as animal tissues, using a continuous wave optical approach. In particular the approach is based on measurements of attenuation signals and the calculation of concentrations of chromophores using a predetermined scatter law. The system comprises a continuous wave photon migration model calculator coupled to an optical source and detector for estimating concentrations of chromophores and scatter parameters used in image reconstruction.
