Optical tomography is the process of reconstructing the optical properties of biological tissue using measurements of incoming and outgoing light intensity at the tissue boundary. Mathematically, light propagation is modeled by the radiative transfer equation (RTE), and optical tomography amounts to reconstructing the scattering coefficient in the RTE using the boundary measurements. In the strong scattering regime, the RTE is asymptotically equivalent to the diffusion equation (DE), and the inverse problem becomes reconstructing the diffusion coefficient using Dirichlet and Neumann data on the boundary. We study this problem in the Bayesian framework, meaning that we examine the posterior distribution ofmore »
