A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPROVED DIFFUSE LUMINESCENT IMAGING OR TOMOGRAPHY IN SCATTERING MEDIA

摘要

Methods and systems for luminescent molecular imaging or tomography of regions of interest in scattering media are disclosed. The system comprises a non-linear luminescent marker material arranged in a scattering medium, one or more light sources positioned by at least one light source location to excite the luminescent marker to an excitation volume by excitation light emitted by the one or more light sources, and And a detector at a luminescent light detection position, which detects luminescence from the luminescent marker due to the excitation light, wherein the excitation light comprises pulsed excitation light.
