Single-Scattering Optical Tomography

Abstract

We consider the problem of optical tomographic imaging in the mesoscopic regime where the photon mean free path is of order of the system size. Within the accuracy of the single-scattering approximation to the radiative transport equation, we show that it is possible to recover the extinction coefficient of an inhomogeneous medium from angularly-resolved measurements. Applications to biomedical imaging are described and illustrated with numerical simulations.
