    Author: Chang J, Graber HL, Koo PC, Aronson R, Barbour SL, Barbour RL.
    Journal: IEEE Trans Med Imaging; 1997 Feb; 16(1):68-77. PubMed ID: 9050409.
    Abstract:
    We present a model suitable for computing images of absorption cross sections of thick tissue structures illuminated at near infrared (NIR) wavelengths from tomographic projection data. Image reconstruction is accomplished by solving a system of linear equations derived from transport theory. Reconstruction results using different algebraic solvers are shown for anatomical maps of the breast, derived from magnetic resonance imaging data, containing two simulated pathologies, in which case qualitatively good reconstructions were obtained. Evaluation of magnetic resonance (MR) data to optimize NIR optical tomographic imaging methods and to assess the feasibility of a combined MR-optical measurement scheme is discussed.
