High performance imaging system for diffuse optical tomography and associated method of use
ActiveUS7983740B2High bandwidthImprove performanceDiagnostics using tomographySensorsOptical tomographyImaging quality
A high performance imaging system for diffuse optical tomography is disclosed. A dense grid utilizing sources, e.g., light emitting diodes (“LEDs”), that achieve high performance at high speed with a high dynamic range and low inter-channel crosstalk are complemented by a system of discrete, isolated receivers, e.g., avalanche photodiodes (“APDs”). The source channels have dedicated reconfigurable encoding control signals, and the detector channels have reconfigurable decoding, allowing maximum flexibility and optimal mixtures of frequency and time encoding and decoding. Each detector channel is analyzed by dedicated, isolated, high-bandwidth receiver circuitry so that no channel gain switching is necessary. The resulting improvements to DOT system performance, e.g., increased dynamic range and decreased crosstalk, enable higher density imaging arrays and provide significantly enhanced DOT image quality. A processor can be utilized to provide sophisticated three dimensional modeling as well as noise reduction.

When a channel which is not scrambled is selected, an error occurs in a digital stream processed in a CA processing module, which causes noises to occur in video and audio signals to be viewed. If a FAT channel to be received is a channel that is not CA-scrambled, a digital stream is directly supplied from a FAT demodulator to a demultiplexer without passing the digital stream through an external processing module. As a result, no noise occurs in video and audio signals to be viewed because the video and audio signals are not influenced by an error of the digital stream that occurs in the processing module.
