Abstract
A novel tomographic method based on the laser speckle contrast, speckle contrast optical tomography (SCOT) is introduced that allows us to reconstruct three dimensional distribution of blood flow in deep tissues. This method is analogous to the diffuse optical tomography (DOT) but for deep tissue blood flow. We develop a reconstruction algorithm based on first Born approximation to generate three dimensional distribution of flow using the experimental data obtained from tissue simulating phantoms.Keywords: (110.3010) Image reconstruction techniques; (110.6150) Speckle imaging; (110.6955) Tomographic imaging; (170.3880) Medical and biological imaging
