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 second year of this project, we have continually evaluated and optimized the image enhancing schemes developed in Year 1 using tissue phantom experiments. We have improved the multi- channel frequency-domain imaging system that was constructed in Year 1. We have conducted extensive phantom experiments for fluorescence lifetime imaging. The successful experiments have confirmed the imaging capability of our reconstruction software. We have also performed successful fluorescence phantom studies that were proposed to occur in Year 3 of the project. We have for the first time obtained fluorescence lifetime images from in vivo animal measurements which were even not proposed to attempt in the original proposal.
