RADIATIVE TRANSPORT IN THE DELTA-P1 APPROXIMATION FOR LAMINAR OPTICAL TOMOGRAPHY
To provide a computational efficient forward model with moderate accuracy for rapid 3D optical tomography in small volumes, radiative transport in the delta-P1 approximation combined with the approximation of the reciprocity was examined. Perturbations of optical signals caused by absorption and fluorescence heterogeneities submerged in a resin-based liquid phantom with background parameters close to rat brain tissues were measured using a recently constructed laminar optical tomography system. These measured perturbations were used to examine the theoretically calculated fluence perturbations based on the delta-P1 approximation and the reciprocity approximation. Results show that the errors between the predicted and measured data are acceptable, especially for fluorescence perturbations.
