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 کاملThree Dimensional Near Infrared Tomography of the Breast
Near-Infrared (NIR) Diffuse Optical Tomography (DOT) is a non-invasive imaging technique which is used to obtain functional and physiological images of soft tissue, such as the female breast, specifically for the detection and characterization of breast cancer. The vast majority of the work to date has been limited to two dimensional (2D) models which have provided valuable insight into tissue ...
متن کاملA Generalized Least-squares minimization method for near infrared diffuse optical tomography
Diffuse optical tomography (DOT) has the potential to become a non-invasive and non-ionizing diagnostic imaging technique for breast cancer imaging. DOT uses near-infrared (NIR) light to illuminate the breast, generally through the use of fiber optic bundles, and the diffusely transmitted light is collected from the tissue surface. To get functional images of the breast, one needs to use advanc...
متن کاملIn vivo water state measurements in breast cancer using broadband diffuse optical spectroscopy.
Structural changes in water molecules are related to physiological, anatomical and pathological properties of tissues. Near infrared (NIR) optical absorption methods are sensitive to water; however, detailed characterization of water in thick tissues is difficult to achieve because subtle spectral shifts can be obscured by multiple light scattering. In the NIR, a water absorption peak is observ...
