Conclusions
Optical computer tomography requires high quality of image and up-to-now no method of optical imaging presented in the paper are sufficient for that. Nevertheless we know about optical imaging in high scattering media much more than few years ago and some results are promising.
Medical problems of optical imaging are close to problems of submarines in murky water and airplanes in clouds. Hence combination of military and medical requirements gives a chance to support of future research leading to real time optical computer tomography.
