...This is commonly the case in breast imaging (Dehghani et al 2003b), and in static imaging of the brain (Bluestone et al 2001, Hintz et al 2001, Hebden et al 2002)....

...FEM has become the method of choice for modelling complex inhomogeneous domains in optical imaging (Bluestone et al 2001, Dehghani et al 2003b), although the finite difference method (FDM) (Culver et al 2003a, Hielscher et al 2004), finite volume method (FVM) (Ren et al 2004) and boundary element…...

...…to calculate light propagation in non-diffusive domains where the diffusion approximation does not hold (Boas et al 2002, Okada and Delpy 2003, Hayashi et al 2003), or to validate results obtained using other, faster, methods (Schweiger et al 1995, Chernomordik et al 2002b, Dehghani et al 2003a)....

...3D images are reconstructed from three 2D data sets, each consisting of amplitude and phase measurements (Dehghani et al 2003b)....

...The initial bulk homogeneous guess of optical properties was calculated using the calibration methods outlined elsewhere [2, 57], which were found to be a=0....

...It has been found that if the initial estimate, 0, is not too far from the actual parameter distribution, this term can be ignored [2, 44]....

...Although NIR optical imaging of the breast has a limited resolution due to light scattering effects it can give spectral information (Dehghani et al., 2003) that permits functional measurements associated with haemoglobin concentration and oxygenation, water concentration, lipid content, and…...
