Breast transillumination using the sinus diaphanograph.
Transillumination in the diagnosis of breast disease was first used about 50 years ago.'-3 The sinus diaphanograph is a recent development that provides a light beam of variable intensity. When it is used at the lowest possible setting small lesions become capable of light interference and more subtle changes in tissue density can be visualised. Diaphanoscopy is performed in a totally darkened ...

متن کاملAssociation between transillumination breast spectroscopy and quantitative mammographic features of the breast.
Transillumination breast spectroscopy (TiBS) uses nonionizing optical radiation to gain information about tissue properties directly from the breast. TiBS measurements were obtained from 225 women with normal mammograms. Principal component analysis was used to reduce the spectral data set into four principal components and to generate four TiBS scores (t1-t4) for each woman. These components a...
متن کاملIntraoperative nasal transillumination for maxillary sinus augmentation procedures: a technical note.
This article presents a simple, inexpensive method for precisely locating the floor of the maxillary sinus, as well as the presence of any septa, at the time of sinus augmentation surgery. Using an anesthesia light wand placed transnasally to illuminate the sinus, the surgeon can reliably elevate the lateral maxillary wall overlying the sinus with relative ease without fear of placing the osteo...
متن کاملAssessing breast tissue density by transillumination breast spectroscopy (TIBS): an intermediate indicator of cancer risk.
Risk assessment by parenchymal density pattern, a strong physical indicator of future breast cancer risk, is available with the onset of mammographic screening programmes. However, due to the use of ionizing radiation, mammography is not recommended for use in younger women, thereby rendering risk assessment unattainable at an earlier age. Visible and near infrared light was used on 292 women w...
