Non-in vasive characterization of breast lesion optical and structural properties using multi-wavelength, multi-frequency photon density waves co-registered with ultrasound imaging
Abstract:We present the preliminary results of quantitative characterization of normal and malignant breast tissues in a human subject. The tissue was probed non-invasively by multi-wavelength (674, 786, 803, 849, and 956 nm) multifrequency (50MHz-1GHz) diffuse photon density waves (DPDW). The optical characterization of the lesion was co-registered with Ultrasound. Ultrasound images provide us information about the lesion size and position which were used for optical characterization of localized inhomogeneity (lesion… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
