Optical tomography is a non-invasive imaging techniques that we are using to study oxygenation within the neonatal brain. Reconstruction of images of absorption using data collected from a neonatal head presents major challenges; the most important being the requirement for a full 3D models.The project is centred around the use of an already developed software for the generation of 3 dimensional models. The Scientific Computation Research Center (SCOREC) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York, has already produced some sophisticated meshing algorithms and software which has been made available to us through an agreement for collaboration.We already have a sophisticated and powerful finite element modelling and image reconstruction algorithm. It is aimed that through this collaboration, we can maximise the use and benefits of our numerical model together with SCOREC's meshing algorithm. This will be achieved by investigating some 3 dimensional aspects of optical tomography which up to now have been difficult due to meshing limitations.This collaboration would considerably increase progress of our work, particularly in the area of 3 dimensional modelling of optical tomography. We are already investigating this problem with particular reference to neonatal head imaging (EPSRC: Ref GR/L8275).
