Background:

Accurate diffuse optical imaging relies on selecting optimal near-infrared light wavelengths.
Wavelength selection is influenced by theoretical methods and practical system-specific factors.
The MONSTIR II system requires optimized wavelength selection for improved performance.

Purpose of the Study:

To apply a data-driven approach for selecting optimal wavelengths for the MONSTIR II system.
To identify wavelength combinations that accurately reproduce functional activation imaging results.
To assess the robustness of wavelength selection for diffuse optical imaging.

Main Methods:

Utilized a data-driven approach for wavelength selection in diffuse optical imaging.
Performed functional activation experiments using 12 wavelengths (690-870 nm) with the MONSTIR II system.
Identified optimal combinations of 2, 3, and 4 wavelengths for accurate image reconstruction.

Main Results:

Optimal 2, 3, and 4 wavelength combinations for accurate functional activation imaging were identified as [770, 810], [770, 790, 850], and [730, 770, 810, 850] nm, respectively.
The MONSTIR II system demonstrated relative robustness to wavelength selection within certain limits.
The data-driven approach successfully optimized wavelength selection for improved imaging accuracy.

Conclusions:

The study provides specific, optimized wavelength sets for the MONSTIR II system.
The developed data-driven method is applicable to other multispectral near-infrared spectroscopy and optical imaging systems.
Optimized wavelength selection enhances the accuracy of functional activation imaging using diffuse optical tomography.
