Fluorescent element`s distribution reconstructing method for use in e.g. diffusive optic tomography, involves formulating energy transfer functions in diffusing medium between punctual excitation light source and detector

摘要

The method involves formulating energy transfer functions in a diffusing medium between a punctual excitation light source and a detector. A set of energy transfer functions representative of energy transfer between the light source and fluorescent elements is formulated. Another set of energy transfer functions representative of energy transfer between the fluorescent elements and the detector is formulated. The energy transfer functions are Green functions solving a diffusion equation and corresponding to a finite cylindrical volume.
