Multiple-view diffuse optical tomography system based on time-domain compressive measurements.

Compressive sensing is a powerful tool to efficiently acquire and reconstruct an image even in diffuse optical tomography (DOT) applications. In this work, a time-resolved DOT system based on structured light illumination, compressive detection, and multiple view acquisition has been proposed and experimentally validated on a biological tissue-mimicking phantom. The experimental scheme is based on two digital micromirror devices for illumination and detection modulation, in combination with a time-resolved single element detector. We fully validated the method and demonstrated both the imaging and tomographic capabilities of the system, providing state-of-the-art reconstruction quality.
