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 …

Effective treatment of cancer requires understanding the nature of the disease and
accurately addressing the main root causes. General risk factors for cancer include poor …

We develop and validate a Modified Beer-Lambert law for blood flow based on diffuse
correlation spectroscopy (DCS) measurements. The new formulation enables blood flow …

Light is a powerful tool to non-invasively probe highly scattering media for clinical
applications ranging from oncology to neurology, but also for molecular imaging, and quality …

We employed near-infrared optical techniques, diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS), and
frequency-domain near-infrared spectroscopy (FD-NIRS) to test the hypothesis that …

Background In mammography, breast compression is applied to reduce the thickness of the
breast. While it is widely accepted that firm breast compression is needed to ensure …

Diffuse optical tomography has demonstrated significant potential for clinical utility in the
diagnosis and prognosis of breast cancer, and its use in combination with other structural …

Microvascular blood flow contrast is an important hemodynamic and metabolic parameter
with potential to enhance in vivo breast cancer detection and therapy monitoring. Here we …

We characterize novel breast cancer imaging biomarkers for monitoring neoadjuvant
chemotherapy (NACT) and predicting outcome. Specifically, we recruited 30 patients for a …

In this study, time domain diffuse optical spectroscopy is performed in the range 600–1100
nm on 11 healthy volunteers with a portable system for the quantitative characterization of …
