A new multielement phased-array approach enhances spatial resolution in diffuse optical imaging. This method successfully resolves closely spaced objects, outperforming single-source imaging in turbid media.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical optics
  • Optical imaging technologies

Background:

  • Diffuse optical imaging (DOI) is a non-invasive technique.
  • Improving spatial resolution in DOI remains a challenge for imaging turbid media.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a multielement phased-array approach for diffuse optical imaging.
  • To enhance the spatial resolution of continuous-wave (CW) diffuse optical imaging through postprocessing.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a theoretical and experimental framework for a three-element phased-array source.
  • Analysis of performance in an optically turbid medium with embedded cylindrical inclusions.
  • Comparison with single-light-source intensity measurements.

Main Results:

  • The phased-array approach significantly improves spatial resolution.
  • Two 10 mm separated cylindrical inclusions, unresolved by single-source methods, were clearly resolved.
  • Demonstrated feasibility of the technique in a complex scattering environment.

Conclusions:

  • Multielement phased-array diffuse optical imaging offers superior resolution compared to single-source methods.
  • This technique holds promise for enhanced imaging of structures within scattering biological tissues.
  • Postprocessing of CW data with phased arrays is effective for improving spatial resolution.
