Diffuse optical tomography in time domain with the inverse Rytov series

Medical Physics 2024-11-26 v2 Optics

Abstract

The Rytov approximation has been commonly used to obtain reconstructed images for optical tomography. However, the method requires linearization of the nonlinear inverse problem. Here, we demonstrate nonlinear Rytov approximations by developing the inverse Rytov series for the time-dependent diffusion equation. The method is verified by a solid-phantom experiment.
