Computed Tomography-guided Time-domain Diffuse Fluorescence Tomography in Small Animals for Localization of Cancer Biomarkers
Published on: July 17, 2012
Abstract:
Computed tomography is sensitive to changes in the imaged distribution during acquisition of the projection data. Previous investigations have emphasized discrete or discontinuous changes in the imaged object. Recent advances have motivated our investigation of object time-dependence characterized by a continuous function in time at each point. Formal mathematical and computer simulation approaches have been developed, and are presented along with simple examples of their applications. Further applications in three distinct ongoing studies are outlined.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
