چکیده
TCRT continues to offer to its readers the current advances in OPTICAL BIOPSY. This special section’s focus is presented in four articles in optical imaging area. The salient features of the articles touch upon the use of time and frequency domain in imaging, the use of different wavelengths of several of possible fingerprint molecules in cancer, the role of hypoxia in cancer, the use of key topical contrast agent with confocal micro-endoscope, and the use of ultrasound guided hybrid system with optical diffusive tomography for minima invasive cancer detection. Several key methods are discussed in these articles.

متن کاملImproving 3-D Imaging Breast Cancer Diagnosis Systems Using a New Method for Placement of Near-Infrared Sources and Detectors
The objective of this research was to improve 3-D imaging system by near-infrared light emission in breast tissue to achieve a more accurate diagnosis of tumor. The results of repeated experiments in this research have shown that with this imaging system, a more accurate diagnosis of abnormal area depends on the location of the sources and detectors. Therefore, an optimal location model has bee...
متن کاملMesoscopic and macroscopic optoacoustic imaging of cancer.
Optoacoustic imaging combines the rich contrast of optical methods with the resolution of ultrasound imaging. It can therefore deliver optical visualization of cancer far deeper in tissue than optical microscopy and other conventional optical imaging methods. Technological progress and novel contrast media have resulted in optoacoustic imaging being propagated to basic cancer research and in cl...
متن کاملAdvances in molecular imaging: targeted optical contrast agents for cancer diagnostics.
Over the last three decades, our understanding of the molecular changes associated with cancer development and progression has advanced greatly. This has led to new cancer therapeutics targeted against specific molecular pathways; such therapies show great promise to reduce mortality, in part by enabling physicians to tailor therapy for patients based on a molecular profile of their tumor. Unfo...
متن کاملRecent Advances in PET-MR Hybrid contrast agent
Introduction: All of the Imaging modalities have advantages and disadvantages alone. So if we want to have the best and perfect image, combining these modalities produces something we desired. PET-MR images consist of morphologic and metabolic data. MRI and PET provide high spatial and contrast resolution and high sensitivity and molecular information respectively. Hybrid PET-...
