Abstract
Communicated by Academician Vladimir A. Kulchitsky
A rapid method for correction of the influence of light scattering and absorption in biological tissues on their fluorescent images is proposed. To speed up the calculations of a medium transfer function a regression and analytical descriptions of light fields at the fluorescence excitation and emission wavelengths are used. The required information on the absorbance of a medium is extracted from components of its colored image. The effectiveness of the method is estimated on the images of biological phantoms obtained by the Monte Carlo simulations.
