Multimodal Diffuse Optical Imaging

摘要: Diffuse optical imaging, particularly diffuse tomography (DOT), is an emerging clinical modality capable of providing unique functional information, at a relatively low cost, and with nonionizing radiation. Multimodal imaging has enabled synergistic combination anatomical information: the quality DOT reconstructions been significantly improved by incorporating structural information derived combined modality. In this chapter, we will review basic principles including instrumentation reconstruction algorithm design. We also discuss approaches for multimodal strategies that integrate DOI clinically established modalities. The merit demonstrated in context mammography, but techniques described herein can be translated to other scenarios such as brain or muscle imaging.
