Abstract

Optical tomography has the potential of detection and characterization of cancerous regions within physiological tissue. Reconstructed images of optical properties from boundary measurements of Near-Infrared light propagation within the female breast hold promise of providing clinically useful information about the infected tissue. Here, we describe our 3 dimensional model and discuss our image reconstruction algorithm.
