Abstract

The ability of fluorescence imaging to identify early physiological changes in tissue places it suitably for use in pre-cancer diagnosis. We have presented a review of the broad classification of tomographic schemes with respect to this problem. We have articulated some of the main motivations, issues, and potential solutions for the use of fluorescence optical tomographic systems for limited data in vivo imaging. We have also reported recent results obtained by us in our ongoing work of developing a frequency domain FOT system for early cervical cancer diagnosis.
