    Abstract:
    In this study, we investigate the performance of early-photon fluorescence tomography based on a heterogeneous mouse model. The telegraph equation is used to accurately describe the propagation of light in tissues at short times. The optimal time gate for early photons is determined by singular value analysis at first. Then, fluorescent targets located in different organs of the mouse model are investigated. The simulation results demonstrate that the reconstructed tomographic images based on early photons yield improvement in spatial resolution and quantification than the quasi-CW measurements. Meanwhile, compared with the homogeneous model, the use of the heterogeneous model can improve the accuracy of fluorescence distribution and quantification in early-photon fluorescence tomography.
