Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) To realize a simple depth-selective imaging of diffuse medium, a new technique was developed that uses multiple circular light sources, an imaging device, and image subtraction process. If the position of a light source on the body surface changes, the propagation region of scattered light in the body becomes different. The proposed technique detects this difference by image subtraction. In the simulation based on the diffusion theory, the effectiveness of the technique was confirmed. Using a model phantom, the applicability of the technique to mammalian tissue was verified. The possibility to estimate the depth of the absorber in diffuse medium by the proposed technique was presented.
