Abstract:Within the last 20 years, there has been increasing interest in the possibility of optical breast cancer screening methods, with particular interest in transmission imaging and diffuse optical tomography. Additionally, several articles have detailed the impact of breast compression on breast hemodynamics, which may be leveraged as a source of contrast for optical mammography modalities and could further open the door for optical detection and/or monitoring of breast tumors. We examine these possibilities and q… Show more
