Diffuse optical tomography (DOT) is well known to be ill-posed and suffers from a poor resolution. While time domain DOT can bolster the resolution by time-gating to extract weakly scattering photons, it is often confronted by an inferior signal to noise ratio and a low measurement density. This is particularly problematic for non-contact DOT imaging of non-planar objects, which faces an inherent tradeoff between the light collection efficiency and depth of field. We present here ultrafast contour imaging, a method that enables efficient light collection over curved surfaces with a dense spatiotemporal sampling of diffused light, allowing DOT imaging in the object’s native geometry with an improved resolution. We demonstrated our approach with both phantom and small animal imaging results. ©2020 Optical Society of America

We report the feasibility of three-dimensional (3D) volumetric diffuse optical tomography for small animal imaging by using a CCD-camera-based imaging system with a newly developed depth compensation algorithm (DCA). Our computer simulations and laboratory phantom studies have demonstrated that the combination of a CCD camera and DCA can significantly improve the accuracy in depth localization and lead to reconstruction of 3D volumetric images. This approach may present great interests for noninvasive 3D localization of an anomaly hidden in tissue, such as a tumor or a stroke lesion, for preclinical small animal models.
