Abstract :
The present paper is devoted to fluorescence diffuse optical tomography by using time resolved signals for the reconstruction of the 3D biodistribution of fluorescent probes embedded in biological tissues. The focus is made on the reconstruction of a methodology for an efficient exploitation of the time resolved data. The study is restricted to the examination of the three first moments of signals acquired in cylindrical geometry. The interest of temporal information upon cw information has been shown especially when only a limited number of views is available.
