Abstract

We perform numerical and experimental sensitivity analyses for the imaging problem in small-volume optical tomography with the frequency-domain equation of radiative transfer as light propagation model. Varying the optical properties, tissue geometries, and contrast, we show that source modulation frequencies in the range of 300-600MHz yield maximal signal-to-noise ratios and therefore maximal sensitivity to tissue inhomogeneities.
