Abstract: Fluorescent Diffuse Optical Tomography (FDOT) is an emerging imaging method with great prospects in fields of biology and medicine. However, the current solutions to the forward problem in FDOT are time consuming, which greatly limit the application. We proposed a method for FDOT based on Lattice Boltzmann forward model on GPU to greatly improve the computational efficiency. The Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) was used to construct the optical transmission model. This method separated the LBM into collision, streaming and boundary processing processes on GPUs to perform the LBM efficiently, which were local computational and inefficient on CPU. The feasibility of the proposed method was verified by the numerical phantom and the physical phantom experiments. The experimental results showed that the proposed method achieved the best performance of a 118-fold speed up under the precondition of simulation accuracy, comparing to the diffusion equation implemented by Finite Element Method (FEM) on CPU. Thus, the LBM on the GPU may efficiently solve the forward problem in FDOT.
