This review describes the diffusion model for light transport in tissues and the medical
applications of diffuse light. Diffuse optics is particularly useful for measurement of tissue …

Background It has been proposed that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) be used to guide
breast cancer surgery by differentiating residual tumor from pathologic complete response …

The use of breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is rapidly increasing. EUSOMA
organised a workshop in Milan on 20–21st October 2008 to evaluate the evidence currently …

The aim of breast MRI is to obtain a reliable evaluation of any lesion within the breast. It is
currently always used as an adjunct to the standard diagnostic procedures of the breast, ie …

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is emerging as the most sensitive modality that is
currently available for the detection of primary or recurrent breast cancer. Although this …

Imaging of response to oncology treatments, either on clinical protocol or as part of standard
practice, is a complicated process that has evolved during the last 10 years due to the …

We employ diffuse optical tomography (DOT) to track treatment progress in a female subject
presenting with locally advanced invasive carcinoma of the breast during neoadjuvant …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to assess the value of MRI measurements of
breast tumor size for predicting recurrence-free survival (RFS) in patients undergoing …

Purpose: To prospectively document changes in contrast agent kinetics in patients with
primary breast cancer treated with systemic chemotherapy after one or two cycles and to …

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has become the standard treatment for patients with locally
advanced breast cancer; however a technique that can accurately differentiate responders …
