Main Results:

Angle-averaged measurements limit image reliability to the scale of the transport mean-free path, hindering the resolution of closely spaced sources.
The proposed method, utilizing a few angle-resolved measurements, successfully overcomes this resolution limitation.

Conclusions:

High-resolution optical imaging in scattering tissues requires angle-resolved data.
The developed inverse problem solution offers enhanced capabilities for localizing sources in challenging mesoscopic scattering conditions.
