Image reconstruction in optical CT using TEAM (temporally extrapolated absorbance method)

Reconstructed images in optical CT by using temporally extrapolated absorbance method (TEAM) are presented. In order to evaluate the system we made optical phantoms with absorbing material, scattering material, and solvents. We reconstructed images by FBP with the new concept on the optical density by the TEAM. TEAM was superior to other methods in S/N ratio and spatial resolution.
