The issues of detecting the inhomogeneities are studied aimed at mapping the distribution of absorption and scattering in soft tissues. A modification of the method of diffuse optical tomography is proposed for detecting directly and determining the region of spatial localisation of such absorbing and scattering inhomogeneities as a cyst, a hematoma, a tumour, as well as for measuring the degree of oxygenation or deoxygenation of blood, in which the late arriving photons that diffuse through the scattering object are used.
