A Globally Accelerated Numerical Method For Optical Tomography With Continuous Wave Source
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new numerical method for an inverse problem for an elliptic equation with unknown potential is proposed. In this problem the point source is running along a straight line and the source-dependent Dirichlet boundary condition is measured as the data for the inverse problem. A rigorous convergence analysis shows that this method converges globally, provided that the so-called tail function is approximated well. This approximation is veri ̄ed in numerical experiments, so as the global convergence. Applications to medical imaging, imaging of targets on battle ̄elds and to electrical impedance tomography are discussed.

Experimental demonstration of an analytic method for image reconstruction in optical diffusion tomography with large data sets.
We report the first experimental test of an analytic image reconstruction algorithm for optical tomography with large data sets. Using a continuous-wave optical tomography system with 10(8) source-detector pairs, we demonstrate the reconstruction of an absorption image of a phantom consisting of a highly scattering medium containing absorbing inhomogeneities.

Introduction Blood pressure (BP) is one of the important vital signs that need to be monitored for personal healthcare. Arterial blood pressure is estimated from pulse transit time (PTT). This study uses two pulse sensors to get PTT. The aim of this study was to construct an optical system and to monitor blood pressure continuously and without cuff in people with different ages. Materials and M...
متن کاملNumerical Analysis of Mushroom-type Traveling Wave Electroabsorption Modulators Using Full-Vectorial Finite Difference Method
Larger width of P-cladding layer in p-i-n waveguide of traveling wave electroabsorption modulator (TWEAM) results in lower resistance and microwave propagation loss which provides an enhanced high speed electro-optical response. In this paper, a fullvectorial finite-difference-based optical mode solver is presented to analyze mushroom-type TWEAM for the first time. In this analysis, the discont...
متن کاملFeasibility of NIR tomographic reconstruction with multispectral continuous wave data by mapping into frequency domain data
Diffuse near-infrared tomography of tissue can provide intrinsically useful information about total hemoglobin, oxygen saturation, water and cytochromes within tissue, yet to extract this information spectral data is required at many wavelengths. In this study, we examine a new approach to using multispectral continuous wave measurements through tissue along with second-derivative data analysis...

Interferometric range measurements using a wavelength-tunable source form the basis of several measurement techniques, including optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR), swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT), and frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) lidar. We present a phase-sensitive and self-referenced approach to swept-source interferometry that yields absolute range...
