What is it about?
In this paper we derive an analytical representation of the sensitivity functions, which model the imaging operator for parallel-plate time-domain diffuse optical tomography. We first derive analytical expressions for the case of a semi-infinite scattering medium by using Green’s function of the non-stationary diffusion equation and then apply these expressions to evaluate the sensitivity functions for parallel-plate transmission geometry.

Why is it important?
The analytical representation of sensitivity functions significantly simplifies the solution of the inverse problem of diffusion optical tomography.
Perspectives
The authors believe that the proposed approach can be effectively applied in diffuse optical tomography of breast tissue.
