A method of forming an image of tissue. The method includes non-invasively inserting a fiber-
based device into a patient's ear canal and acquiring OCT data from ear tissue while the …

Background Fluorescence spectroscopy is an evolving technology that can rapidly
differentiate between benign and malignant tissues. These differences are thought to be due …

We explore the use of Monte-Carlo-model-based approaches for the analysis of
fluorescence and diffuse reflectance spectra measured ex vivo from breast tissues. These …

Abstract Background and Objective We explored the use of diffuse reflectance spectroscopy
in the ultraviolet‐visible (UV‐VIS) spectrum for the diagnosis of breast cancer. A physical …

We report an automated differentiation model for classifying malignant tumor, fibro-adipose,
and stroma in human breast tissues based on polarization-sensitive optical coherence …

Background Several research groups have demonstrated the non‐invasive diagnostic
potential of diffuse optical spectroscopy (DOS) and laser‐induced fluorescence (LIF) …

We report the application of a support vector machine (SVM) for the development of
diagnostic algorithms for optical diagnosis of cancer. Both linear and nonlinear SVMs have …

For a given diagnostic problem, important considerations are the relative performances of
the various optical biopsy techniques. A comparative evaluation of fluorescence, diffuse …

In this paper, we consider the benefits of applying support vector machines (SVMs), radial
basis function (RBF) networks, and self-organizing maps (SOMs) for breast cancer detection …

The development of photomedical modalities for diagnostics and treatment has created a
need for knowledge of the optical properties of the targeted biological tissues. These …
