Digital Detection Techniques for Dynamic Optical Tomographic Imaging
2007
In this paper we present a novel application of digital detection and data-acquisition techniques to a prototype
dynamic optical tomography system. The core component is a digital signal processor (DSP) that is responsible for
collecting and processing the digitized data set. Utilizing the processing power of the DSP, real-time data rates for
this 16-source, 32-detector system, can be achieved at rates as high as 140Hz per tomographic frame. Many of the
synchronously-timed processes are controlled by a complex programmable logic device (CPLD) that is used in
conjunction with the DSP to orchestrate data flow. The operation of the instrument is managed through a
comprehensive graphical user interface, which was designed using the LabVIEW software package. Performance
analysis demonstrates very low system noise (~.60pW RMS noise equivalent power) and excellent signal precision
(<0.1%) for most practical cases. First experiments on tissue phantoms show that dynamic behavior can be
accurately captured using this system.
