An improvement in a method for scanning a turbid medium for generating an image thereof for the detection of one or more anomalies contained within the turbid medium, the turbid medium having a first face and an opposite second face. In accordance with the method the turbid medium is scanned by displacing an optical signal source and a corresponding optical detector from one respective spatial location to another about the turbid medium, each spatial location being associated with a corresponding input region on said first face and a corresponding output region on the opposite second face. The optical signal source directs an optical signal to each of said input regions. The optical detector in response to optical signals detected from each of the output regions sends corresponding detector output signal data to an image processing means for generating a set of image data of the turbid medium. The improvement comprises generating in addition to a primary set of image data, secondary and/or tertiary image data which are derived by scanning the turbid medium using input regions and output regions of different sizes The various sets of image data obtained may be manipulated in any manner (i.e. subjected to a data processing technique) so as to for example highlight the differences or similarities between the images (e.g.. to obtain a composite set of image data indicative of an anomaly(ies) in the body of the turbid medium).
