3D Shape Reconstruction in Optical Tomography Using Spherical Harmonics and BEM
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the recovery of smooth 3D region boundaries with piecewise constant coefficients in Optical Tomography (OT). The method is based on a parametrisation of the closed boundaries of the regions by spherical harmonic coefficients, and a Newton type optimisation process. A boundary integral formulation is used for the forward modelling. An advantage of the proposed method is the implicit regularisation effect arising from the reduced dimensionality of the inverse problem. Results of a numerical experiment are shown which demonstrate the performance of the new method in a realistic situation.

3D shape based reconstruction of experimental data in Diffuse Optical Tomography.
Diffuse optical tomography (DOT) aims at recovering three-dimensional images of absorption and scattering parameters inside diffusive body based on small number of transmission measurements at the boundary of the body. This image reconstruction problem is known to be an ill-posed inverse problem, which requires use of prior information for successful reconstruction. We present a shape based met...
متن کاملShape analysis of left ventricle using spherical harmonics functions
This paper presents an approach for the parameterization of 3D triangular mesh surfaces of spherical topology objects. Our approach is decomposed in two steps. The first step consists in parameterizing the surface by defining a continuous one-to-one mapping from the surface of the object to the surface of a unit sphere [10]. The optimization of initial parameterization is formulated as a constr...
متن کاملDiffuse Optical Tomography based on Simplified Spherical Harmonics Approximation
The use of higher order approximations to the Radiative transport equation, through simplified spherical harmonics expansion (SPN) in optical tomography are presented. At higher orders, the image reconstruction becomes highly under-determined due to the large increase in the number of unknowns which cannot be adequately recovered. However, reconstruction of diffuse parameters, namely optical ab...
متن کاملHigh-Performance Fluorescence Molecular Tomography through Shape-Based Reconstruction Using Spherical Harmonics Parameterization
Fluorescence molecular tomography in the near-infrared region is becoming a powerful modality for mapping the three-dimensional quantitative distributions of fluorochromes in live small animals. However, wider application of fluorescence molecular tomography still requires more accurate and stable reconstruction tools. We propose a shape-based reconstruction method that uses spherical harmonics...
متن کاملIndividual virtual phantom reconstruction for organ dosimetry based on standard available phantoms
Background: In nuclear medicine application often it is required to use computational methods for evaluation of organ absorbed dose. Monte Carlo simulation and phantoms have been used in many works before. The shape, size and volume in organs are varied, and this variation will produce error in dose calculation if no correction is applied. Materials and Methods: A computational framewo...
