Abstract

An apparatus for fluorescence molecular tomography includes an exciting light source, a carrying stage, and a receiving apparatus. The carrying stage configured to carry an subject to be examined which receives the exciting light to excite fluorescence; the receiving apparatus comprising a fluorescence detector, an exciting light detector and a beam splitter, the beam splitter is configured to allow the fluorescence to exit in a first direction and the exciting light having passed through the subject to be examined to exit in a second direction, the fluorescence detector is positioned in the first direction to the beam splitter and configured to receive and transform the fluorescence into a first electrical signal. The exciting light detector is positioned in the second direction to the beam splitter and configured to receive and transform the exciting light having passed through the subject to be examined into a second electrical signal.
