Ultrasound‐Guided Diffuse Optical Tomography for Differentiation of Benign and Malignant Breast Lesions: A Meta‐analysis

Abstract: Ultrasound-guided diffuse optical tomography is useful for differentiating breast lesions. Especially, its sensitivity is excellent.

“…In fact, a well-known shortcoming of diffuse optical imaging is its limited spatial resolution, due to the highly diffusive nature of light in biological tissues in the red and infrared spectral range. The exploitation of a priori anatomical constraints obtained through B-mode, X-ray or MRI images already led to a distinctly more accurate quantification of the optical properties, and in turn of tissue composition, with respect to DOT data alone, thus improving the diagnostic potential of the technique [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27].…”

“…On the one hand, some groups have proposed modified regularization algorithms for optimizing the inverse problem ( 10 13 ). The other groups have employed information on the size, shape, and depth of the lesion obtained with high-resolution imaging equipment to guide DOT reconstruction ( 14 , 15 ). On the other hand, many researchers are working on improving the imaging system.…”
