Abstract
Diffuse optical tomography is a highly unstable problem with respect to modeling and measurement errors. During clinical measurements, the body shape is not always known, and an approximate model domain has to be employed. The use of an incorrect model domain can, however, lead to significant artifacts in the reconstructed images. Recently, the Bayesian approximation error theory has been proposed to handle model-based errors. In this work, the feasibility of the Bayesian approximation error approach to compensate for modeling errors due to unknown body shape is investigated. The approach is tested with simulations. The results show that the Bayesian approximation error method can be used to reduce artifacts in reconstructed images due to unknown domain shape.
