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 …

This article reviews two types of ultrasound-mediated biophotonic imaging–acousto-optical
tomography (AOT, also called ultrasound-modulated optical tomography) and photo …

This entry-level textbook, covering the area of tissue optics, is based on the lecture notes for
a graduate course (Bio-optical Imaging) that has been taught six times by the authors at …

We describe a novel Monte Carlo code for photon migration through 3D media with spatially
varying optical properties. The code is validated against analytic solutions of the photon …

Fluorescence microscopic imaging is widely used in biomedical research to study molecular
and cellular processes in cell culture or tissue samples. This is motivated by the high …

Materials for solid photoacoustic breast phantoms, based on poly (vinyl alcohol) hydrogels,
are presented. Phantoms intended for use in photoacoustics must possess both optical and …

The concept of waves is an integral part of our scientific culture and has nourished
physicists, pure and applied alike, for centuries. Many important discoveries in physics …

We introduce a modified Tikhonov regularization method to include three-dimensional x-ray
mammography as a prior in the diffuse optical tomography reconstruction. With simulations …

The diagnosis of solid benign and malignant tumors presents a unique challenge to all
noninvasive imaging modalities. Ultrasound is used in conjunction with mammography to …

We describe what is, to the best of our knowledge, the first pilot study of coregistered
tomographic x-ray and optical breast imaging. The purpose of this pilot study is to develop …
