Abstract

The term optical imaging is not well defined; it refers to techniques ranging from simple photography to tomographic methods requiring most complex mathematical reconstruction algorithms. Common to all of these, however, is the use of a set of light sources to probe the object of interest, and usually a set of light-sensing devices to capture the resulting photon distribution from which the desired information is extracted by some kind of postprocessing. Recently, also hybrid techniques employing ultrasonic instead of optical detection have been reported and will be discussed further below.
