Frequency-domain optical mammography: edge effect corrections.
We have investigated the problem of edge effects in laser-beam transillumination scanning of the human breast. Edge effects arise from tissue thickness variability along the scanned area, and from lateral photon losses through the sides of the breast. Edge effects can be effectively corrected in frequency-domain measurements by employing a two-step procedure: (1) use of the phase information to...
متن کاملFrequency-domain techniques enhance optical mammography: initial clinical results.
We present a novel approach to optical mammography and initial clinical results. We have designed and developed a frequency-domain (110-MHz) optical scanner that performs a transillumination raster scan of the female breast in approximately 3 min. The probing light is a dual-wavelength (690 and 810 nm, 10-mW average power), 2-mm-diameter laser beam, and the detection optical fiber is 5 mm in di...
متن کاملImplementation of edge-preserving regularization for frequency-domain diffuse optical tomography.
In this study, we first propose the use of edge-preserving regularization in optimizing an ill-conditioned problem in the reconstruction procedure for diffuse optical tomography to prevent unwanted edge smoothing, which usually degrades the attributes of images for distinguishing tumors from background tissues when using Tikhonov regularization. In the edge-preserving regularization method pres...
متن کاملcutting edge of traumatic maculopathy with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography – a review
this article reviews clinically relevant data regarding traumatic maculopathy (tm), frequently observed in clinical practice, especially due to sport or traffic accident injuries. it is characterized by transient gray-whitish retinal coloration and reduction of visual acuity (va) with closed, blunt object globe trauma of their prior. it may be limited to the posterior pole (berlin’s edema), o...
متن کاملDigitally Range-Gated Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry
Summary: We present a new optical frequency domain reflectometry technique which permits high frequency sweep repetition rates without sacrificing range. This technique could thus be adapted for remote and distributed acoustic sensing over long
