Abstract: A cap-based Transcranial Optical Tomography (CTOT) imaging system includes a cap, a first laser, a second laser, a first optical fiber, a second optical fiber, an intensifier, a third optical fiber, a fourth optical fiber, and an image sensor. The cap is configured for placement on a head of a subject to be imaged. The first laser source configured to generate a laser light at a first wavelength. The second laser source configured to generate laser light at a second wavelength. The first optical fiber and the second optical fiber couple the first laser source and the second laser to the cap. The third optical fiber couples the image intensifier to the cap. The fourth optical fiber couples the image intensifier to the cap. The image sensor is coupled to the image intensifier, and is configured to capture an image of intensified light generated by the image intensifier.

Abstract: A system and method for intraoperative fluorescence imaging. A system for intraoperative fluorescence imaging includes a visible light source, a laser light source, a visible light image detector, a fluorescence image detector, radio frequency (RF) circuitry, and an image processing system. The RF circuitry is coupled to the laser light source and the fluorescence image detector. The RF circuitry is configured to modulate laser light generated by the laser source, and modulate an intensifier of the fluorescence image detector. The image processing system is coupled to the visible light image detector and the fluorescence image detector. The image processing system is configured to merge a fluorescence image produced by the fluorescence image detector and a visible light image produced by the visible light image detector to generate an intraoperative image showing an outline of a region of interest identified in the fluorescence image overlaid on the visible light image.

Abstract: The claimed method and system uses a hand-held based optical process to image large tissue volumes using a flexible probe head, increased data acquisition using multi-source illumination and multi-detector sensing, and tomographic reconstruction of sub-surface structures of a target object using ultrasonic tracking facilities.

Abstract: Systems and methods for near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging and frequency-domain photon migration (FDPM) measurements. An optical tomography system includes a bed, a wheel, a light source, an image detector, and radio frequency (RF) circuitry. The bed is configured to support an object to be imaged. The wheel is configured to rotate about the bed. The light source is coupled to the wheel. The image detector is coupled to the wheel and disposed to capture images of the object. The RF circuitry is coupled to the light source and the image detector. The RF circuitry is configured to simultaneously generate a modulation signal to modulate the light source, and generate a demodulation signal to modulate a gain of the image detector.
