In this paper, we develop a method of forming pharmacokinetic-rate images of indocyanine
green (ICG) and apply our method to in vivo data obtained from three patients with breast …

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 …

The permeability of tumor blood vessels to contrast agents (Gd chelates) has formed the
basis for MRI breast tumor identification. It is also believed that angiogenesis starts before …

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 …

Using scanning time-domain instrumentation we recorded fluorescence projection
mammograms on few breast cancer patients prior, during and after infusion of indocyanine …

Purpose To assess early-and late-fluorescence near-infrared imaging, corresponding to the
vascular (early-fluorescence) and extravascular (late-fluorescence) phases of indocyanine …

Breast-conserving surgery is facing the challenge of objective tumor margin identification
intraoperatively. Near-infrared fluorescence imaging would be an ideal approach to …

Due to its spectral and binding properties, the well-tolerated near-infrared absorbing and
fluorescent dye indocyanine green (ICG) has found various applications in diffuse optical …

Surgery is the most effective method to cure patients with solid tumors. New techniques in
near-infrared (NIR) cancer imaging are being used to identify surgical margins and residual …

The paper gives a short overview of various methods of optical mammography, emphasizing
scanning time-domain mammography. The results of a clinical study on time-domain optical …
