A review of reported tissue optical properties summarizes the wavelength-dependent
behavior of scattering and absorption. Formulae are presented for generating the optical …

Photon penetration into living tissue is highly dependent on the absorption and scattering
properties of tissue components. The near-infrared region of the spectrum offers certain …

We review the history of photoacoustics from the discovery in 1880 that modulated light
produces acoustic waves to the current time, when the pulsed variant of the discovery is fast …

We review the current state-of-the-art of diffuse optical imaging, which is an emerging
technique for functional imaging of biological tissue. It involves generating images using …

Diffuse optical tomography (DOT) is an ongoing medical imaging modality in which tissue is
illuminated by near-infrared light from an array of sources, the multiply-scattered light which …

Fluorescent semiconductor nanocrystals (quantum dots [QDs]) are hypothesized to be
excellent contrast agents for biomedical assays and imaging. A unique property of QDs is …

The authors describe the development of diffuse optical imaging (DOI) technologies,
specifically the use of spatial and temporal modulation to control near infrared light …

We present three-dimensional (3D) in vivo images of human breast cancer based on
fluorescence diffuse optical tomography (FDOT). To our knowledge, this work represents the …

The development of a contrast agent for a laser optoacoustic imaging system (LOIS) can
significantly widen preclinical and clinical applications of this imaging modality for early …

Purpose: To prospectively assess quantitatively the inherent contrast of electromagnetic
(EM) properties that can be imaged by using available technology in women with abnormal …
