Finite Element Based Photon Migration Imaging

Abstract

This research is aimed at developing a new optical approach, called "Photon Migration Imaging", for breast cancer detection and diagnosis. The project will develop computer software and conduct phantom experiments to achieve the proposed goals. During the first year of this project, we have developed a number of novel schemes that can enhance our current 2D reconstruction software. We have constructed and tested a multi--channel frequency-domain imaging system. We have conducted phantom experiments that confirmed our software enhancement. We have also performed successful fluorescence phantom studies that were proposed to occur during the second year of the project.
