The time-course and contrast of the model-simulated and DFT-reconstructed average ICG concentrations in the background and target areas, and (a), as well as the interim yield-images (b) and their X-profiles (c) at = 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600 s. The calculations are performed for the pharmacokinetic-rates of contrast = 2 from the simulated data with , , , and . The black circles indicate the ideal location and size of the targets.
