Numerical approximation of bioluminescence tomography based on a new formulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bioluminescence tomography (BLT) is a promising new method in biomedical imaging. The BLT problem is an ill-posed inverse source problem, usually studied through a regularization technique. A new approach is proposed for solving the BLT problem based on an adjoint equation. Numerical examples show that the new formulation allows us to obtain accurate solutions.

Bioluminescence tomography based on the phase approximation model.
A reconstruction method of bioluminescence sources is proposed based on a phase approximation model. Compared with the diffuse approximation, this phase approximation model more correctly predicts bioluminescence photon propagation in biological tissues, so that bioluminescence tomography can accurately locate and quantify the distribution of bioluminescence sources. The compressive sensing (CS...
متن کاملA new general mathematical framework for bioluminescence tomography
Bioluminescence tomography (BLT) is a recently developed area in biomedical imaging. The goal of BLT is to quantitatively reconstruct a bioluminescent source distribution within a small animal from optical signals on the surface of the animal body. While there have been theoretical investigations of the BLT problem in the literature, in this paper, we propose a more general mathematical framewo...

متن کاملA born-type approximation method for bioluminescence tomography.
In this paper, we present a Born-type approximation method for bioluminescence tomography (BLT), which is to reconstruct an internal bioluminescent source from the measured bioluminescent signal on the external surface of a small animal. Based on the diffusion approximation for the photon propagation in biological tissue, this BLT method utilizes the Green function to establish a linear relatio...
