Abstract
We have recently developed a hybrid Fluorescence Molecular Tomography - X-ray Computed Tomography (FMT-XCT) system that operates with a common gantry using free-space implementation of CCD camera measurements. In this study several methods were investigated for including structural information from X-ray computed tomography in the FMT reconstruction problem as a regularization term. The performance of these different methods on data obtained with the FMT-XCT system from a brain imaging study on euthanized mice is showcased and optimal inversion scenarios are discussed.
