Abstract

There has been recently a considerable interest in simultaneously reconstructing yield and lifetime distributions of fluorescent imaging agents inside a bulky tissue, since combined monitoring of these two parameters provides a potential means of in vivo interrogating quantitative and environmental information of specific molecules, as well as accessing interactions among them. It is widely accepted that an advantageous way of accomplishing the task in the context of small-animal imaging is to use a time-domain (TD) modality. In this paper, we present a full three-dimensional, featured-data algorithm for TD diffuse fluorescence tomography, which inverts the Laplace-transformed TD coupled photon diffusion equations and employs a pair of real-domain transform-factors to effectively separate the fluorescent yield and lifetime parameters. By use of a specifically designed 16×16 channel time-correlated single photon counting system and a normalized Born formulation for the inversion, the proposed scheme in a transmission mode is experimentally validated to achieve simultaneous reconstruction of the fluorescent yield and lifetime distributions with reasonable accuracy.
