description

We present new results on the fundamental nonuniqueness issue in dc diffuse optical tomography (DOT) that resolve a long-standing conflict between theory and practice. Theoretically, scattering and absorption properties of the imaged media were proven to produce equivalent and thus indistinguishable effects. However, successful simultaneous reconstructions of both parameters were obtained in phantom experiments.
