<p>A method of measuring the internal characteristic distribution of a scattering/absorbing body, comprising allowing a light beam to enter a medium to be measured, detecting the light beam transmitted through the medium, collecting measured values of a predetermined parameter for each of combinations of the position where the light beam enters and the position where the light beam is detected, setting a reference value of the absorption coefficient, finding estimated values of the parameter for each of the combinations, defining a weight function for each voxel according to the micro-Beer-Lambert's law, calculating the differences in absorption coefficient between voxels by using the measured values of the parameter, the estimated values, and the weight function, and calculating the absolute values of the absorption coefficients of the voxels.</p> |
