Simultaneous reconstruction of absorption and scattering images by multichannel measurement of purely temporal data.

We present what is believed to be the first simultaneous reconstruction of the internal scattering and absorbing properties of a highly scattering medium by use of purely temporal data. These results are also the first acquired with the multichannel time-resolved imaging system developed at University College London.
