Area of Science:

  • Biomedical optics
  • Image reconstruction
  • Computational imaging

Background:

  • Optical tomography (OT) traditionally assumes static optical properties.
  • Nonstationary changes in absorption/diffusion coefficients challenge conventional OT.
  • Accurate imaging of dynamic biological tissues requires methods that account for these changes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a new numerical method for nonstationary optical tomography.
  • To formulate the nonstationary OT problem as a state-estimation problem.
  • To estimate time-varying optical properties using Kalman filtering.

Main Methods:

  • Formulating nonstationary OT as a state-estimation problem.
  • Modeling absorption and/or diffusion coefficients as a stochastic process.
