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 third year of this project, we have implemented and evaluated the 2D image enhancing schemes especially in the areas of boundary conditions and source/detector models. We have also started to implement the 3D reconstruction algorithms that were proposed to occur in Year 4 of the project. We have conducted extensive simulation and phantom experiments for optical and fluorescence lifetime imaging. The successful experiments have confirmed the imaging capability of our reconstruction software.
