Combining fluorescence molecular tomography (FMT) with diffuse optical tomography (DOT) improves quantitative accuracy. Accounting for heterogeneous optical properties is crucial for reliable FMT measurements of fluorophore concentration.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Optics
  • Medical Imaging
  • Quantitative Fluorescence Imaging

Background:

  • Accurate quantification in fluorescence molecular tomography (FMT) is challenged by heterogeneous optical properties.
  • Systematic studies on the impact of optical property distribution on FMT are lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a combined FMT-DOT method for improved quantitative accuracy.
  • To investigate the necessity of incorporating heterogeneous optical property distributions into FMT reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Development of finite-element reconstruction algorithms for combined FMT and diffuse optical tomography (DOT).
  • Numerical simulations and phantom experiments using a noncontact, multiangle transmission system.
  • Evaluation of quantitative accuracy using varying concentrations of indocyanine green (ICG) in heterogeneous phantoms.

Main Results:

  • Numerical simulations demonstrated that considering absorption and reduced scattering coefficient distributions is essential for accurate FMT.
  • Phantom experiments confirmed that DOT-guided FMT significantly improves the accuracy of recovered fluorophore concentration compared to methods without optical property information.
  • Reconstructed absorption coefficients using DOT-guided FMT showed quantitative consistency with spectroscopic measurements.

Conclusions:

  • Integrating diffuse optical tomography (DOT) with fluorescence molecular tomography (FMT) enhances quantitative accuracy by accounting for optical heterogeneity.
  • Knowledge of optical property distribution is critical for precise reconstruction of fluorophore concentrations in complex biological tissues.
  • The developed method offers a more reliable approach for quantitative molecular imaging in biomedical research.
