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 …

Photoacoustic (PA) imaging is an emerging medical imaging modality that combines optical
excitation and ultrasound detection. Because ultrasound scatters much less than light in …

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 …

Purpose: In a pilot study, we introduce fast handheld multispectral optoacoustic tomography
(MSOT) of the breast at 28 wavelengths, aiming to identify high-resolution optoacoustic …

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a powerful tool for monitoring brain
functional activities. Due to its non-invasive and non-restraining nature, fNIRS has found …

Recent developments in the field of micro and nanophotonics have shown that it is possible
to make use of the intrinsic disorder in photonic materials to create useful optical structures …

Diffuse optical tomography, also known as near infrared tomography, has been under
investigation, for non‐invasive functional imaging of tissue, specifically for the detection and …

There is a wealth of new fluorescent reporter technologies for tagging of many cellular and
subcellular processes in vivo. This imposed contrast is now captured with an increasing …

The authors describe the development of diffuse optical imaging (DOI) technologies,
specifically the use of spatial and temporal modulation to control near infrared light …

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 …
