Abstract

Despite the broad impact in medicine that optics can bring, thus far practical approaches are limited to weak scatter or near-surface monitoring. We show a method that utilizes a laser topography scan and a diffusion equation model to describe the photon transport, together with a multiresolution unstructured grid solution to the nonlinear optimization measurement functional, that overcomes these limitations. We conclude that it is possible to achieve whole body optical imaging with a resolution suitable for finding cancer nodules within an organ during surgery, with the aid of a targeted imaging agent.
