First-order approximation of fluorescence excitation-transmission to accelerate fluorescence molecular tomography
Abstract:
We present a method to accelerate image reconstruction in fluorescence molecular tomography based on the historical path fluorescence Monte Carlo model. The method exploits a first-order approximation expression during the fluorescence excitation-transmission process to merge the path and state information of the photon in a voxel. The experiments show that our method not only greatly reduces the amount of data required for storage in the hard disk and accelerates image reconstruction, but also maintains the quantitative and positioning accuracy of the conventional method.
