Abstract

Diffuse optical tomography (DOT) reconstructs the images of internal optical parameter distribution using noninvasive boundary measurements. The image reconstruction procedure is known to be an ill-posed problem. In order to solve such a problem, a regularization technique is needed to constrain the solution space. In this study, a projection-error-based adaptive regularization (PAR) technique is proposed to improve the reconstructed image quality. Simulations are performed using a diffusion approximation model and the simulated results demonstrate that the PAR technique can improve reconstruction precision of object more effectively. The method is demonstrated to have low sensitivity to noise at various noise levels. Moreover, with the PAR method, the detectability of an object located both at the center and near the peripheral regions has been increased largely.

Graphs of the CNR distribution of the reconstructed images using the (a) STR method, (b) LMR method, and (c) PAR method. A circular object located in the center of this imaging field was moved along the y-axis from 0 to 40 mm in 2 mm steps. At each position, the object size was increased from 1mm to 20 mm with 1mm intervals.

Comparisons of projection error and iteration number among the STR, LMR and PAR techniques. (a) and (c) illustrate objects 4mm and 10mm in diameter located at the center. The object sizes in (b) and (d) are the same as for (a) and (c) but are located near the edge. The CNR values indicate the image qualities of reconstructed objects with the three regularization methods.

Comparisons of reconstructed µa and µ′s images with three regularization methods at different noise levels. The 12-mm-diameter objects are located in the center of the imaging fields. (a)–(c) for STR, (d)–(f) for LMR, and (g)–(i) for PAR. The reconstructions in the first row are with 1% noise, the second row with 5% noise, and 10% noise for the last row.

Graphs of the CNR distribution of reconstructed images for three object positions using PAR: (a) central region and (b) 23 mm from the boundary and (c) 3 mm from the boundary. The adaptive regularization method was applied in the reconstruction.

STR reconstruction comparison for two regularization schemes: different regularization parameters for the amplitude and phase were placed in the Hessian matrix ((a) and (c)) and a constant regularization value of 1/2 was placed in the Hessian matrix ((b) and (d). The centrally located object appears in (a) and (b), and the peripheral one in (c) and (d). The object size is 12 mm in diameter.

Simulation comparisons of reconstructed µa and µ′s images with three regularization methods in poor (i.e. 30% OPD, (OPD represents the original photon density.)) and ideal (90% OPD) detector-object contact cases. Three measurements were chosen, and 30 and 90% of the OPD of each measurement was respectively considered as the measured photon density. A 12-mm-diameter object was located at the edge of the imaging fields. (a) and (b) for STR, (c) and (d) for LMR, and (e) and (f) for PAR.
