Abstract
There is provided a method for improving contrast and resolution of an optical image of an object obtained by time-resolved techniques such as Time Domain (TD) and Frequency Domain (FD). The method comprises obtaining a Temporal Point Spread Function (TPSF), and determining optical properties of volumes of interest (VOI), each volume being defined by an ensemble of equiprobable effective photon paths corresponding to a time point or time gate of the TPSF.
