Optical imaging in medicine: I. Experimental techniques
Abstract
The overwhelming scatter which occurs when optical radiation propagates through tissue severely limits the ability to image internal structure using measurements of transmitted intensity. A broad range of methods has been proposed during the past decade or so in order to improve imaging performance. Direct methods involve isolating an unscattered or least-scattered component of transmitted scattered light. Indirect methods generally involve measuring some characteristic of the temporal distribution of transmitted light, or an equivalent in the frequency domain, and obtaining a computational solution to the inverse problem. In this paper, we review the experimental techniques which have been proposed in order to explore both direct and indirect imaging. The relative merits and limitations of the various experimental methods are discussed, and we consider the future directions and likelihood of success of optical imaging in medicine.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
