ABSTRACT:
A method for the direct reconstruction of an object from measurements of the quantum efficiency determined from both a diffusing wave and a reradiated diffusing wave effected by irradiating the object with a source of radiation. The quantum efficiency is related to the number density of the fluorescent source distribution defining the image to be reconstructed by an integral operator. The image of the object is directly reconstructed by executing a prescribed mathematical algorithm, as determined with reference to the integral operator, on the quantum efficiency.
