Abstract

Short-wave infrared imaging in tissue in the 1000-2000 nm range is characterized by reduced photon scatter and comparable or higher absorption compared to the NIR-I regime. These characteristics have implications for the performance of fluorescence molecular tomography (FMT) techniques, potentially improving the resolution of subsurface structure, possibly at the expense of depth sensitivity. To examine these questions, we have developed a SWIR small animal fluorescence tomography system. This instrument acquires multi-angle SWIR projection images of a stationary platform through a rotating gantry technique. These images are then processed for tomographic reconstruction of the SWIR fluorescence activity. Herein, we describe the development of this system and show multi-angle images from a mouse carcass containing a SWIR-specific fluorophore inclusion.
