Abstract
Fluorescence diffuse optical tomography is known to be a highly ill-posed problem. We demonstrate methods to exploit the nonlinearity of upconverting fluorophores to significantly improve the quality and amount of the input data. Furthermore, we show that it is possible to obtain reconstructions of higher resolutions using nonlinear fluorophores.
