Abstract
The development of non-invasive, biomedical optical imaging from time-dependent
measurements of near-infrared (NIR) light propagation in tissues depends upon
two crucial advances: (i) the instrumental tools to enable photon
“time-of-flight” measurement within rapid and clinically
realistic times, and (ii) the computational tools enabling the reconstruction of
interior tissue optical property maps from exterior measurements of photon
“time-of-flight” or photon migration. In this
contribution, the image reconstruction algorithm is formulated as an
optimization problem in which an interior map of tissue optical properties of
absorption and fluorescence lifetime is reconstructed from synthetically
generated exterior measurements of frequency-domain photon migration (FDPM). The
inverse solution is accomplished using a truncated Newton’s method
with trust region to match synthetic fluorescence FDPM measurements with that
predicted by the finite element prediction. The computational overhead and error
associated with computing the gradient numerically is minimized upon using
modified techniques of reverse automatic differentiation.
