Numerical approximation of bioluminescence tomography based on a new formulation

Abstract: Abstract. Bioluminescence tomography (BLT) is a promising new method in biomedical imaging. The BLT problem is an ill-posed inverse source problem, usually studied through a regularization technique. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for solving the BLT problem based on the use of an adjoint equation. Numerical examples show that the new formulation provides accurate solutions.

“…A common way to overcome the ill-posed property is the regularization. The Tikhonov regularization strategy is usually used [7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20]. Given a suitable regularization parameter, the Tikhonov method can get excellent results.…”

“…A comprehensive theoretical and numerical analysis of the BLT problem is performed in [9]. More theoretical investigations and numerical solutions of the BLT problem are reported in [11,8,2,3]. A further step along the direction of BLT development is multi-spectral bioluminescence tomography (MBT) that uses multi-spectral measurement data in reconstructing the bioluminescent source distribution.…”
