This study introduces a new method for accurately locating small fluorescent objects deep within tissue using fluorescent diffuse optical tomography (FDOT). The technique improves reconstruction accuracy by utilizing the sparse nature of fluorophores as prior information.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Optics
  • Medical Imaging
  • Optical Engineering

Background:

  • Accurate localization of fluorescent objects in tissue is crucial for various biomedical applications.
  • Traditional diffuse optical tomography (DOT) methods can struggle with reconstructing sparse fluorophore distributions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel fluorescent diffuse optical tomography (FDOT) method for precise localization of small, deep-seated fluorescent objects.
  • To enhance the accuracy of fluorophore distribution reconstruction by incorporating sparsity as prior information.

Main Methods:

  • The proposed method employs an L1 norm minimization approach within the cost function to leverage the sparse nature of fluorophores.
  • A fiber-based continuous-wave (cw) FDOT system was utilized for experimental validation.

  • Experiments were conducted using a milk-based phantom to simulate tissue optical properties.

    • Main Results:

    • The developed FDOT method demonstrated high accuracy in localizing small fluorescent objects positioned deep within the phantom.
    • Incorporating sparsity as a priori information significantly improved the reconstruction fidelity compared to standard methods.
    • The experimental results validated the method's capability for accurate deep-tissue imaging.

    Conclusions:

    • The L1-norm-based FDOT method provides a robust solution for accurately localizing small fluorescent targets in scattering media.
    • This technique holds promise for advancing in vivo imaging and diagnostics by enabling precise visualization of targeted fluorophores.
