Using early photons in optical tomography improves image resolution. An experimentally measured photon weight function provided superior results compared to approximate models for inversion methods like rART, SVD, and LSQR.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical optics
  • Image reconstruction
  • Computational imaging

Background:

  • Optical tomography faces challenges with image resolution and ill-posed inversion problems.
  • Utilizing early arriving photons is a strategy to enhance image quality and stability.
  • Investigating numerical inversion methods is crucial for practical application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the performance of three common numerical inversion methods in optical tomography using early photons.
  • To compare the effectiveness of different photon propagation models.
  • To determine the impact of regularization parameters on inversion accuracy.

Main Methods:

  • 360-degree projection experimental data acquisition.
  • Implementation and comparison of random algebraic reconstruction technique (rART), singular value decomposition (SVD), and LSQR.

  • Investigation of photon propagation models, including an experimentally measured photon weight function and two approximate models.

    • Main Results:

    • All tested inversion methods (rART, SVD, LSQR) demonstrated adequate performance with appropriate regularization.
    • The experimentally measured photon weight function significantly outperformed the two approximate models.
    • Photon propagation model choice critically impacts inversion results.

    Conclusions:

    • Early photon usage in optical tomography enhances resolution and mitigates inversion ill-posedness.
    • Accurate modeling of photon propagation, particularly using measured weight functions, is essential for superior inversion performance.
    • rART, SVD, and LSQR are viable methods for early photon optical tomography when properly regularized.
