Abstract
The invention relates to a method of imaging an interior of a turbid medium, a device for imaging an interior of a turbid medium, and a medical image acquisition device. A turbid medium is accommodated in a receiving volume (), light from a light source is coupled into () and out of the receiving volume and detected () after which a dataset is obtained from the detected light (). The dataset is then communicated to an image reconstruction algorithm () and an image of an interior of the turbid medium is reconstructed based on the detected light (). According to the invention the dataset is changed prior to communicating the dataset to the image reconstruction algorithm into a further dataset (), with a further dataset satisfying an input assumption underlying the image reconstruction algorithm.
