Ultimate spatial resolution with Diffuse Optical Tomography

Opt Express. 2009 Jul 6;17(14):12132-44. doi: 10.1364/oe.17.012132.

Abstract

We evaluate the ultimate transverse spatial resolution that can be expected in Diffuse Optical Tomography, in the configuration of projection imaging. We show how such a performance can be approached using time-resolved measurements and reasonable assumptions, in the context of a linearized diffusion model.
