Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9632632A1] A system and method for the direct reconstruction of a diffusion image from measurements of the transmitted intensity of the scattered radiation effected by irradiating the object (710) with a time-domain source (720). The transmitted intensity detected by detector (730) is related to the diffusion coefficient by an integral operator. The image is directly reconstructed by a processor (750), with input means (760) and output means (770), by executing a prescribed mathematical algorithm, as determined with reference to the integral operator, on the transmitted intensity.
