14 June 2011Toward absolute quantification in CW-FDOT systems: use of a priori information
In the context of continuous wave fluorescence-enhanced diffuse optical tomography, we show that the reconstructed
fluorescence depends on the local diffusion coefficient and demonstrate that the a priori knowledge of specific optical
parameters may lead to the reconstruction of absolute quantification of the fluorophore distribution. In this context, we
point out the potentiality of a bimodal instrument coupling functional and morphological information to provide
knowledge of the distribution of optical parameters of internal organs. We show some quantitative results on simulated
and experimental data on phantoms and conclude suggesting the use of optical parameters atlases to achieve an absolute
quantification of fluorophore distribution in real contexts.
