Optical imaging of the breast
This review provides a summary of the current state of optical breast imaging and describes its potential future clinical applications in breast cancer imaging. Optical breast imaging is a novel imaging technique that uses near-infrared light to assess the optical properties of breast tissue. In optical breast imaging, two techniques can be distinguished, i.e. optical imaging without contrast a...
متن کاملAutomatic Breast Contour Detection in Digital Photographs
Breast cancer conservative treatment (BCCT), due to its proven oncological safety, is considered, when feasible, the gold standard of breast cancer treatment. However, aesthetic results are heterogeneous and difficult to evaluate in a standardized way, due to the lack of reproducibility of the subjective methods usually applied. The objective assessment methods, considered in the past as being ...
متن کاملWater/Fat Separation MR Improves Optical Breast Imaging MR Water/Fat Separation Improves Optical Breast Imaging
Background Optical imaging may be added to MR mammography to provide absolute concentration images of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin, water, and other endogenous and exogenous molecular agents. This is beneficial because hemoglobin and tissue oxygenation have been shown in several studies to have high specificity to breast cancer [1]. This combined optical/MR instrument has been shown t...
متن کاملBreast Contour Detection for the Aesthetic Evaluation of Breast Cancer Conservative Treatment
Cosmetic assessment of breast cancer conservative treatment (BCCT) plays a major role in the evaluation of this form of treatment. Objective assessment methods are being preferred to overcome the drawbacks of subjective evaluation. A recent computer-aided medical system was developed to objectively and automatically perform the aesthetic evaluation of the result of BCCT. In order to extract rel...
متن کاملOptical imaging for breast cancer prescreening
Breast cancer prescreening is carried out prior to the gold standard screening using X-ray mammography and/or ultrasound. Prescreening is typically carried out using clinical breast examination (CBE) or self-breast examinations (SBEs). Since CBE and SBE have high false-positive rates, there is a need for a low-cost, noninvasive, non-radiative, and portable imaging modality that can be used as a...
