Abstract

We introduce and study a mathematical model for temperature-modulated bioluminescence tomography (TBT). The model is capable of self-adjusting values of experimental parameters that are used in the formulation. Major theoretical results of this article include: Solution existence of the model, convergence of numerical solutions, an iterative scheme based on linearization, studies of the solution limiting behaviours when normalized total energy function and/or some or all the energy percentages in individual spectral bands are known exactly. Several numerical examples are included to illustrate the improvement of the accuracy of the reconstructed bioluminescent source distribution due to the employment of measurements from multiple temperature distributions.
