Diaphanography, A Time-Resolved Approach.

A/Prof Tim van Doorn and Dr John Patterson

Diaphanography (DPG) is a transillumination imaging technique based on the propagation of light through turbid medium (e.g. soft tissue). The technique can be used to locate (tumor-like) soft tissue diseases such as breast cancer. This technique goes back to 1929 [1]. Now, our aim is to develop and assess time-resolved DPG technique to achieve millimeter high contrast spatial resolution. The project studies both the theoretical aspect of Photon propagation in turbid medium and experimental problems with detection of early arriving photons.
