Abstract

The bioinstrumentation apparatus includes a light irradiation unit irradiating a measurement region with light, a light detection unit detecting diffused light from the measurement region, and a computing unit generating a reconstructed image for the interior of the measurement region. The computing unit calculates J coefficients wset for every pixel of the reconstructed image and more than 0 and not more than 1 (where J is the number of pixels of the reconstructed image) and carries out successive approximation computation by the following iterative formula(where k is an integer from 1 to N, N is the number of times of iterative computation, xis a pixel value of the jth pixel on the kth iterative computation, and dis an update amount of the jth pixel on the kth iterative computation) to generate the reconstructed image.
