An Accelerated Boundary Element Method for Diffuse Optical Imaging
The boundary element method (BEM) is a useful tool in Diffuse Optical Imaging (DOI) when modelling large optical regions whose parameters are piecewise constant, but is computationally expensive. We present here an acceleration technique, the single-level Fast Multipole Method, for a highly lossy medium. The enhanced practicability of the BEM in DOI is demonstrated through test examples on sing...

متن کاملDiffuse optical cortical mapping using the boundary element method
Cortical mapping, also called optical topography is a new medical imaging modality which allows the non-invasive investigation of the outer layers of the cortex. This technique is challenging and the geometry of the subject is very often over-simplified. We aim here to localize activated regions of an anatomically accurate brain. A Boundary Element Method is used for the forward model. The reco...
متن کاملIterative boundary method for diffuse optical tomography.
The recent application of tomographic methods to three-dimensional imaging through tissue by use of light often requires modeling of geometrically complex diffuse-nondiffuse boundaries at the tissue-air interface. We have recently investigated analytical methods to model complex boundaries by means of the Kirchhoff approximation. We generalize this approach using an analytical approximation, th...
متن کاملGPU-Accelerated Finite Element Method for Modelling Light Transport in Diffuse Optical Tomography
We introduce a GPU-accelerated finite element forward solver for the computation of light transport in scattering media. The forward model is the computationally most expensive component of iterative methods for image reconstruction in diffuse optical tomography, and performance optimisation of the forward solver is therefore crucial for improving the efficiency of the solution of the inverse p...
