چکیده
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 room. Normal

متن کاملOptical transillumination spectroscopy to quantify parenchymal tissue density: an indicator for breast cancer risk.
Mammographic screening for early detection of breast cancer has proven valuable in improving breast cancer survival. However, breast cancer incidence is still increasing, and thus preventative oncology needs to receive more attention, with the goal of identifying women with increased risk of developing breast cancer in the future and offering them risk reduction interventions. Mammogram derived...
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 کاملVirtual Hematoxylin and Eosin Transillumination Microscopy Using Epi-Fluorescence Imaging
We derive a physically realistic model for the generation of virtual transillumination, white light microscopy images using epi-fluorescence measurements from thick, unsectioned tissue. We demonstrate this technique by generating virtual transillumination H&E images of unsectioned human breast tissue from epi-fluorescence multiphoton microscopy data. The virtual transillumination algorithm is s...
متن کاملGen-2 Hand-Held Optical Imager towards Cancer Imaging: Reflectance and Transillumination Phantom Studies
Hand-held near-infrared (NIR) optical imagers are developed by various researchers towards non-invasive clinical breast imaging. Unlike these existing imagers that can perform only reflectance imaging, a generation-2 (Gen-2) hand-held optical imager has been recently developed to perform both reflectance and transillumination imaging. The unique forked design of the hand-held probe head(s) allo...
