A CT-analogous scheme for time-domain diffuse fluorescence tomography

J Xray Sci Technol. 2012;20(1):91-105. doi: 10.3233/XST-2012-0321.

Abstract

A fiber-based non-contact scheme of the time-domain diffuse fluorescence yield and lifetime tomography is described that combines the time-correlated single photon counting technique for high-sensitive, time-resolved detection and CT-analogous configuration for large data-set collection. A pilot validation of the methodology is performed for two-dimensional scenarios using simulated and experimental data. The results demonstrated the efficacy of the proposed scheme in improving the image quality.
