TL;DR: A parallel implementation for MC simulation of light propagation in heterogeneous tissues whose surfaces are constructed by different number of triangle meshes is presented and the feasibility and efficiency of the parallel MC simulation on GPU is demonstrated.

TL;DR: 3D Cerenkov-based luminescence tomography was performed using a heterogeneous mouse model with an implanted Na(131)I radioactive source, which provided the accurate location for the reconstructed source and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) was utilized to verify the results.

TL;DR: The surface functionalization of AuNCs is described as the precondition for making future bioapplications possible, which can eventually influence their stability, biocompatibility, and other properties.

TL;DR: An incomplete variables truncated conjugate gradient method for bioluminescence tomography (BLT) obtains fast and stable source reconstruction, even without a priori information of the permissible source region and multispectral measurements.

TL;DR: The data suggest that the reconstruction based on heterogeneous mouse model is more accurate in localization and quantification than the homogeneity mouse model with appropriate optical parameters and that BLT allows super-early tumor detection in vivo based on tomographic reconstruction of heterogeneous mice model signal.
