Abstract
A fast imaging apparatus and method for high resolution diffuse optical tomography with a line imaging and illumination system is disclosed. The method uses an algorithm comprising a convolution approximation of the forward heterogeneous scattering model that can be inverted to produce deeper than ever before structured beneath the surface. The method can detect reasonably accurate boundaries and relative depth of absorption variations up to a depth of approximately 8 mm below highly scattering medium such as skin.
