Abstract
Optical imaging of biological tissues is a fast growing field that brings state-of-the-art laser and optical technologiestogether with physical and clinical sciences. Many new concepts and detection techniques developedin the past several years have evolved this field from basic study of photon migration in turbid media to clinicalpractice. This paper reviews some of the recent developments in the study of optical tomography, which alsomay imply the future direction of biomedical imaging by means of optical methods.
