 note = {Subject-specific head models of which their geometry is based
on structural magnetic resonance images are essential to accurately estimate
the spatial sensitivity profiles for image reconstruction in diffuse optical
tomography. T1-weighted magnetic resonance images, which are
commonly used for structural imaging, are not sufficient for the thresholdbased
segmentation of the superficial tissues. Two types of pulse sequences,
which provide a high contrast among the superficial tissues, are introduced
to complement the segmentation to construct the subject-specific head
models. The magnetic resonance images acquired by the proposed pulse
sequences are robust to the threshold level and adequate for the thresholdbased
segmentation of the superficial tissues compared to the T1- and T2-
weighted images. The total scan time of the proposed pulse sequences is
less than one-fourth of that for the T2-weighted pulse sequence.},
