  • Publication number: 20260056127
    Abstract: A method for fluorescence imaging tomography includes placing at least one subject on an imaging platform. The method further includes controlling light emanating from a light source to project an illumination pattern comprising at least one line onto the at least one subject. The method further includes acquiring, at a plurality of locations on a detector, light intensity values at excitation wavelengths resulting from the projecting of the illumination pattern onto the at least one subject. The method further includes acquiring, at the plurality of locations on the detector, light intensity values at emission wavelengths resulting from a fluorescence response of fluorescent sources within the at least one subject to the projecting of the illumination pattern the at least one subject. The method further includes generating an image of the fluorescent sources within the at least one subject based on the acquired light intensity values and outputting the image.

  • Publication number: 20250166184
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for 3D luminescence imaging, by identifying a preferred optical pair and optimizing a scanned image using the preferred optical pair. An optimal filter pair may be selected from a list of two or more optical filters. An acceptable threshold of information may be obtained using a subset of the list of two or more optical filters (e.g., an optimal filter pair). An imaging device may be configured with the optimal filter pair to produce a pair of luminescence images of a target sample. In addition, luminescence images may be pre-processed to reduce the time-cost of conventional processing techniques of luminescence images. One or more computing devices may generate initial prior data based on a pair of luminescence images. An output may include one or more output luminescent sources that have been refined and/or optimized from the initial prior data.

  • Publication number: 20130114069
    Abstract: A method for tomographic imaging of diffuse medium includes directing waves into a diffusive medium, solving a surface-bounded inversion problem by forward field calculations through decomposition of contributions from the multiple reflections from an arbitrary surface within the diffusive medium or outside the diffusive medium into a sum of different orders of reflection up to an arbitrary order, and using contact or non-contact measurements of waves outside said diffusive medium to generate a tomographic image.

  • Patent number: 8326406
    Abstract: A method and a system for free space optical tomography provides one or more light source and one or more light sensors spaced, which in one embodiment are spaced apart from and object to be imaged. A surface capture system coupled to a variety of optical models provides the method and system with the ability to render accurate tomographic images though the light has propagated both through a diffuse medium and, in on embodiment, also through free space to the one or more light sensors.

  • Patent number: 7804075
    Abstract: A system for optical tomography includes an apparent light source adapted to project excitation light toward a specimen having fluorescent proteins therein, wherein the excitation light enters the specimen becoming intrinsic light within the specimen, wherein the intrinsic light is adapted to excite fluorescent light from the fluorescent proteins, and wherein the intrinsic light and the fluorescent light are diffuse. A method of optical tomography includes generating the excitation light with the apparent light source, wherein the intrinsic light and the fluorescent light are diffuse.
