Advances in Optical Diffusive Wave Imaging

ABSTRACTEEC-9812924 Dimarzio/东北这是一个探索性研究项目，旨在加强工业/大学合作研究中心的电磁研究，研究目标是提高最大限度地发挥人体非侵入性光学成像的潜力的基础知识。预计该项目将改善扩散波成像的穿透性、分辨率、准确性和诊断能力，使其成为一种安全有效的医疗诊断工具。具体目标包括(1)了解扩散近似不成立的复杂组织中扩散波的行为，(2)发明新的先进成像系统以提高空间分辨率，以及(3)开发从现有数据中提取信息的新算法。

ABSTRACTEEC-9812924Dimarzio/NortheasternThis is an Exploratory Research Project to augment the Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Electromagnetics ResearchThe research objective is to advance the basic knowledge in maximizing the potential for non-invasive optical imaging of the human body. It is anticipated that the project will result in improved in improved penetration, resolution, accuracy and diagnostic capability of diffusive-wave imaging to that it will become a safe and effective tool of medical diagnosis. Specific objectives include (1) understanding the behavior of diffusive waves ins complicated tissues where the diffusion approximation is not valid, (2) inventing novel advanced imaging systems for improving spatial resolution, and (3) developing new algorithms to extract information from available data.
