Claim 0:
1. A system for imaging a target region within a diffuse object, the system comprising:
an excitation light source;
an optical imaging apparatus configured to direct light from the excitation light source into the diffuse object at one or more of: (i) multiple locations and (ii) multiple angles;
one or more detectors, the one or more detectors individually or collectively configured to at least one of detect or measure: (i) one or more of bioluminescent or chemiluminescent light emitted from the diffuse object by a bioluminescent reporter in the target region of the diffuse object, (ii) fluorescent light emitted by a fluorescent species in the target region of the diffuse object as a result of excitation by the light, and (iii) excitation light having been transmitted through the target region of the diffuse object or having been reflected from the target region of the diffuse object; and
a processor configured to process data corresponding to the one or more of bioluminescent or chemiluminescent light, the fluorescent light, and the excitation light to provide an image of the target region within the diffuse object.
