Abstract EN
During the past decade, Monte Carlo method has obtained wide applications in optical imaging to simulate photon transport process inside tissues.
However, this method has not been effectively extended to the simulation of free-space photon transport at present.
In this paper, a uniform framework for noncontact optical imaging is proposed based on Monte Carlo method, which consists of the simulation of photon transport both in tissues and in free space.
Specifically, the simplification theory of lens system is utilized to model the camera lens equipped in the optical imaging system, and Monte Carlo method is employed to describe the energy transformation from the tissue surface to the CCD camera.
Also, the focusing effect of camera lens is considered to establish the relationship of corresponding points between tissue surface and CCD camera.
Furthermore, a parallel version of the framework is realized, making the simulation much more convenient and effective.
The feasibility of the uniform framework and the effectiveness of the parallel version are demonstrated with a cylindrical phantom based on real experimental results.
