DCT reconstruction from simulated data sets. (a) z slices of αD_b at different depths for expected value (Top), Simulation #1 (middle, global μ_s′ = 20.0 cm⁻¹) and Simulation #2 (Bottom, global μ_s′ = 8.0 cm⁻¹). (b) z slices of αD_b at 1.0 mm for expected value and simulation #2-4. In simulation #3 and #4, μ_s′ = 8.0 cm⁻¹ and 20.0 cm⁻¹ were assigned for region 1 and 2 respectively simulating muscle and bone. For simulation #3, αD_b = 1.0x10⁻⁸ cm²/s was assigned in both regions. For simulation 4, αD_b = 0.25x10⁻⁸ cm²/s was assigned in region 2. (c) Expected relative blood flow rBF (Left) and rBF calculated by taking the ratio between αD_b of simulation #4 and simulation #3 (Right). (Sim: simulation)
