Fluorescence Molecular Tomography for Quantum Yield and Lifetime (2305.06216v1)

Published 10 May 2023 in physics.optics and physics.bio-ph

Abstract: Fluorescence molecular tomography (FMT) is a promising modality for non-invasive imaging of internal fluorescence agents in biological tissues especially in small animal models, with applications in diagnosis, therapy, and drug design. In this paper, we present a new fluorescent reconstruction algorithm that combines time-resolved fluorescence imaging data with photon-counting micro-CT (PCMCT) images to estimate the quantum yield and lifetime of fluorescent markers in a mouse model. By incorporating PCMCT images, a permissible region of interest of fluorescence yield and lifetime can be roughly estimated as prior knowledge, reducing the number of unknown variables in the inverse problem and improving image reconstruction stability. Our numerical simulation results demonstrate the accuracy and stability of this method in the presence of data noise, with an average relative error of 18% in fluorescent yield and lifetime reconstruction.
