Abstract

This paper deals with the problem of time-resolved fluorescence diffuse optical tomography. We propose a new reconstruction scheme based on a multi-resolution approximation of the time-resolved signals. The underlying basis functions are exponential B-splines that are matched to the decay of fluorescence signals. We illustrate the applicability of the method on phantom data.
