Abstract:Diffuse optical imaging (DOI) is an emerging imaging modality for non-invasive functional medical imaging, using near infrared (NIR) or visible red light. The innovation is to derive functional information about living tissue from measurements of light that has passed through it. Optical imaging can be applied to imaging of tissues as diverse as the central nervous system, female breast, muscle, and joints of fingers. This thesis addresses the application of DOI to studying the human brain.
