This review describes the diffusion model for light transport in tissues and the medical
applications of diffuse light. Diffuse optics is particularly useful for measurement of tissue …

Near-infrared diffuse optical tomography (DOT), one of the most sophisticated optical
imaging techniques for observations through biological tissue, allows 3-D quantitative …

We have developed a single-breath-hold photoacoustic computed tomography (SBH-PACT)
system to reveal detailed angiographic structures in human breasts. SBH-PACT features a …

Diffuse optical imaging and spectroscopy of the female breast is an area of active research.
We review the present status of this field and discuss the broad range of methodologies and …

Early cancer diagnosis plays a critical role in improving treatment outcomes and increasing
survival rates for certain cancers. NIR spectroscopy offers a rapid and cost-effective …

In cancer surgery, intra-operative assessment of the tumor-free margin, which is critical for
the prognosis of the patient, relies on the visual appearance and palpation of the tumor …

Breast cancer is anticipated to be responsible for almost 40,000 deaths in the USA in 2011.
The current clinical detection techniques suffer from limitations which motivated researchers …

Diffuse optics has proven useful for quantitative assessment of tissue oxy-and
deoxyhaemoglobin concentrations and, more recently, for measurement of microvascular …

An unmet need exists in high-speed and highly-sensitive intraoperative assessment of
breast cancer margin during conservation surgical procedures. Here, we demonstrate a …

Imaging through thick highly scattering media (sample thickness≫ mean free path) can
realize broad applications in biomedical and industrial imaging as well as remote sensing …
