title = "Development of an absorption-based tomographic system for mapping the human microvasculature",
abstract = "There exist numerous planar imaging methods for mapping the human microvasculature. In medical diagnostics, tomography is preferred over surface imaging for the simple reason that biological organs are 3-dimensional in nature. The aim of this work is to create a novel technique to non-invasively map the concentration of red blood cells in the human microcirculation allowing 3-dimensional image reconstruction. We propose a tomographic system which is based on absorption contrast imaging. A Michelson interferometry method is employed using a broadband, white light source. This work details preliminary results of the calibration procedure of a 'bulk' system. A mirror, reflectance standards, glass-mirror arrangement, and color filter arrangement were used as samples. The resultant interference patterns from each were imaged and analyzed.",
