Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide and the second leading
cause of cancer death. On the basis of three studies performed by our group, this article …

The potential to image subsurface fluorescent contrast agents at high spatial resolution has
facilitated growing interest in short-wave infrared (SWIR) imaging for biomedical …

Background The efficient intraoperative identification of tumors requires the development of
highly specific near-infrared (NIR) probes as contrast agents. One of the most effective dyes …

We investigate the uptake of a nontargeted contrast agent by breast tumors using a
continuous wave diffuse optical tomography apparatus. The instrument operates in the near …
