A method for rapid detection of absorbing inhomogeneity in a strongly scattering medium having the properties of a biological tissue before the image reconstruction is described based on the principles of diffuse optical tomography. The method is based on preliminary processing of a three-dimensional surface obtained from the set of time-resolved data in the Cartesian coordinate system, followed by its conformal transformation into two surfaces in the cylindrical coordinate system. A specific feature of the method is the use of late-arriving photons, scattered and diffusely transmitted through an optically turbid object. (optical tomography)
