Various imaging methods for small animals are rapidly gaining acceptance in biology and medical research. Optical imaging is a very fast and convenient method of biological interrogation, but suffers from significant disadvantages, such as the absence of 3D image reconstruction algorithms. This have up until now impeded progress to a quantitative stage. Here we propose a 3D reconstruction algorithm for imaging light emitted at depths in small living animals. We believe the methods discussed here are novel and lead to a novel imaging paradigm, which we call Light Emission Tomography.
