Area of Science:

Optics and Photonics
Biomedical Imaging
Computational Imaging

Background:

Imaging through highly scattering media is crucial for biomedical and industrial applications.
Conventional methods struggle with thick samples due to light scattering, limiting resolution and depth.
Existing techniques often focus on specific photon types, excluding valuable signal information.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a computational framework for imaging through thick volumetric scattering media.
To utilize both early-arrived and diffused photons for enhanced image quality.
To provide a calibration-free, widefield imaging solution for turbid media.

Main Methods:

Proposed a novel computational framework named "All Photons Imaging" (API).
Employed time-resolved measurements to capture both non-scattered and diffused photons.
Utilized the entire optical signal, unlike methods focusing on specific photon types.

Main Results:

Achieved a two-fold improvement in spatial resolution compared to conventional early photon measurements.
Demonstrated a 4db increase in Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) in a 15mm tissue phantom.
The API framework proved effective in imaging through thick turbid media.

Conclusions:

The All Photons Imaging framework offers superior performance for imaging through scattering media.
This calibration-free, all-optical method enhances non-invasive testing, analysis, and diagnosis.
API opens new possibilities in fields requiring deep tissue or turbid medium imaging.
