Abstract

We consider the problem of optical tomographic imaging in a weakly scattering medium in the presence of highly scattering inclusions. The approach is based on the assumption that scattering media consist of weakly and highly scattering regions, whose transport coefficients differ by an order of magnitude. The image reconstruction algorithm is based on the variational framework and employs angularly selective intensity measurements. The methodology is verified by reconstruction of optical and fluorescent parameters from numerically simulated datasets.
