Abstract

We demonstrate the loss of depth sensitivity induced by the instrument response function on reflectance time-resolved diffuse optical tomography through the comparison of 3 detection systems: on one hand a photomultiplier tube (PMT) and a hybrid PMT coupled with a time-correlated single-photon counting card and on the other hand a high rate intensified camera. We experimentally evaluate the depth sensitivity achieved for each detection module with an absorbing inclusion embedded in a turbid medium. The different interfiber distances of 5, 10 and 15 mm are considered. Finally, we determine a maximal depth reached for each detection system by using 3D tomographic reconstructions based on the Mellin-Laplace transform.
