Abstract

A variety of optical technologies are being developed for use in medicine and biology. These measurement techniques often have one of 3 goals: detection, localization, and characterization. The optical techniques often fall into two classes: (1) perturbation methods, or the ninja-in-the-woods-at-night problem, and (2) hidden source methods, or the ninja-in-the-woods-at-night-with-a-candle problem. The various techniques each have their strengths and weakness. This paper briefly describes some of these strengths and weaknesses.
