Abstract

This note serves as an introduction to two papers by Klose et al. [Optical tomography using the time-independent equation of radiative transfer, Parts 1 (JQSRT 2002;72:691-713) and 2 (JQSRT 2002;72:715-732)] and provides a brief review of the latest developments in optical tomography of scattering tissue. We discuss advancements made in solving the forward model for light propagation based on the radiative transfer equation, in reconstructing scattering and absorption cross sections of tissue, and in molecular imaging of luminescent sources.
