The present review addresses the capacity of optical imaging to resolve functional and
molecular characteristics of breast cancer. We focus on recent developments in optical …

Optical imaging encompasses many different techniques which use light of the UV to the
NIR spectral region to visualize tissue optical characteristics imparted through absorption …

We have measured the bulk optical properties of healthy female breast tissues in vivo in the
parallel plate, transmission geometry. Fifty-two volunteers were measured. Blood volume …

We have synthesized a group of glucamine and gluosamine‐substituted cyanine dyes
structurally related to indocyanine green (ICG) and have characterized these compounds …

We present a method for the noninvasive determination of the size, position, and optical
properties (absorption and reduced scattering coefficients) of tumors in the human breast …

The instrument development and design of a prototype frequency-domain optical imaging
device for breast cancer detection is described in detail. This device employs radio …

The results of the first set of clinical trials with the Philips optical mammography prototype
system are summarized. This optical mammo prototype is designed to image the interior of …

We have developed a laser-pulse mammograph capable of recording optical mammograms
within∼ 3 min by measuring time-resolved transmittance at each of typically 1500 scan …

(57) ABSTRACT A method for Visual-based recognition of objects is described. Depth data
for at least a pixel of an image of the object is received, the depth data comprising …

We present a laboratory version of a photoacoustic mammoscope, based on a parallel plate
geometry. The instrument is built around a flat high-density ultrasound detector matrix. The …
