Detectability of μa,+ signal in a lumpy background. The randomness in the background reduces the detectability of the inclusions and affects the behavior close to the boundary. We see that the mean time has a lower but more uniform detectability than the total counts in the presence of random fluctuations in the background. The overall decrease in detectability for the mean time was less than that for the total counts when compared to the flat background.
