Optical tomography in medical imaging
TLDR
A review of methods for the forward and inverse problems in optical tomography can be found in this paper, where the authors focus on the highly scattering case found in applications in medical imaging, and to the problem of absorption and scattering reconstruction.Abstract:
We present a review of methods for the forward and inverse problems in optical tomography. We limit ourselves to the highly scattering case found in applications in medical imaging, and to the problem of absorption and scattering reconstruction. We discuss the derivation of the diffusion approximation and other simplifications of the full transport problem. We develop sensitivity relations in both the continuous and discrete case with special concentration on the use of the finite element method. A classification of algorithms is presented, and some suggestions for open problems to be addressed in future research are made.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the observed intensity of the diffuse light may be explained as scattered radiation if the phase function governing the scattering of starlight by the interstellar matter is strongly forward-throwing.
