Background:

Bioluminescence Tomography (BLT) faces challenges due to sparse light sources and limited surface measurements.
Accurate reconstruction of internal light sources is crucial for BLT applications.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce an Incomplete Variables Truncated Conjugate Gradient (IVTCG) method for improved bioluminescence tomography.
To address challenges of sparse data and insufficient measurements in BLT.

Main Methods:

Developed an IVTCG framework incorporating an ℓ1 norm regularization term for sparseness.
Combined a quadratic error term with IVTCG to solve the inverse problem.
Employed a variable splitting strategy and limited variable updates for efficient search direction and reconstruction.

Main Results:

Achieved fast and stable bioluminescence source reconstruction.
Demonstrated effectiveness even without prior information on source regions or multispectral data.
Validated the method using numerical simulations on a mouse atlas.

Conclusions:

The IVTCG method offers a robust solution for bioluminescence tomography.
Numerical and in vivo experimental results confirm its potential for practical BLT systems.
The method shows promise for advancing preclinical and clinical imaging applications.
