Inverse problem in optical diffusion tomography. I. Fourier-Laplace inversion formulas.
We consider the inverse problem of reconstructing the absorption and diffusion coefficients of an inhomogeneous highly scattering medium probed by diffuse light. Inversion formulas based on the Fourier-Laplace transform are used to establish the existence and uniqueness of solutions to this problem in planar, cylindrical, and spherical geometries.
