Improved continuous light diffusion imaging in single- and multi-target tissue-like phantoms

The image reconstruction enhancement schemes of total variation minimization, dual meshing and iterative spatial filtering have been applied to laboratory data collected from continuous light illumination of tissue-like phantoms. Experiments include both single- and multi-target cases where variations in object size (4 mm to 20 mm), position (centred to near boundary) and contrast with the background (2:1 to 8:1) have been explored. The results …
