title: Angularly selective mesoscopic tomography.
abstract: We report three-dimensional tomographic reconstruction of optical parameters for the mesoscopic light-scattering regime from experimentally obtained datasets by employing angularly selective data acquisition. The approach is based on the assumption that the transport coefficient of a scattering medium differs by an order of magnitude for weakly and highly scattering regions. Datasets were obtained by imaging a weakly scattering phantom, which embeds a highly scattering cylinder of two to three photons' mean path length in diameter containing light-absorbing inclusions. Reconstruction results are presented and discussed.
