Abstract
A numerical study of single-source and dual-interfering-source modalit ies for optical imaging through biological media with a view to practi cal implications is given. Our comparisons are based on multigrid fini te-difference frequency-domain solutions of the diffusion equation, fo r example, inhomogeneous imaging problems. Detector noise levels, the influence of boundaries, and ease of measurement are considered. This investigation indicates that a dual source, or dual-source data synthe sized from single-source measurements, offers significant imaging oppo rtunities when compared with single-source data.
