Abstract

The paper reviews the optical imaging techniques emphasizing the imaging approaches appropriate for tissue mapping. Angular domain imaging is introduced as a successful implementation of the optical imaging for tissue mapping that utilizes micromachined collimators detecting photons within small angles of aligned laser light sources. The experiments were undertaken with transillumination of the scattering medium and with backscattering of photons. The results are presented and discussed
