N2 - We examine a statistical solution to the problem of Fluorescence Molecular Tomography (FMT) using the Born ratio. Experimentally verified noise models for the fluorescence and excitation signals are combined to generate a stochastic model for the Born ratio. This model is then utilized within a maximum likelihood (ML) framework to obtain a fixed point iteration about a linear least squares problem. Results for experimental data are shown, including phantoms implanted within a small animal, and in-vivo data using an exogenous probe.
