  • IMAGING VOLUMES WITH ARBITRARY GEOMETRIES IN CONTACT AND NON-CONTACT TOMOGRAPHY
    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.
    Type: Application
    Filed: April 30, 2012
    Publication date: May 9, 2013
    Inventors: Jorge Ripoll, Vasilis Ntziachristos, Karen N. Madden
  • OPTICAL IMAGING PROBES
    Publication number: 20110171136
    Abstract: This invention relates to optical imaging probes and the use of such probes for diagnosing and monitoring disease, and disease treatment. The optical imaging probes of the current invention can be used to identify and characterize normal and diseased tissues with regards to altered metabolic activity.
