Abstract :
This paper presents time-resolved diffuse optical tomographic imaging of human lower legs and forearms. To identify the sources that cause the low quantitativeness in the reconstructed images, a comparative study is carried out on reality-simulating numerical phantoms using both the featured-data and full time-resolved algorithms.
