Abstract
There has been a surge of interest in diffuse optical tomography (DOT) that
uses near-infrared light to detect, localize and diagnose maladies such as breast
cancer and brain injury. Scattering and light attenuation limit the resolution and
accuracy of DOT methods that use small differences in optical properties to
distinguish lesions from normal tissue. Researchers need a DOT approach that can,
for example, quickly reconstruct images to detect and map tumors at early growth
stages and determine if they are malignant or benign.
