This review describes the diffusion model for light transport in tissues and the medical
applications of diffuse light. Diffuse optics is particularly useful for measurement of tissue …

We review the current state-of-the-art of diffuse optical imaging, which is an emerging
technique for functional imaging of biological tissue. It involves generating images using …

We have developed a single-breath-hold photoacoustic computed tomography (SBH-PACT)
system to reveal detailed angiographic structures in human breasts. SBH-PACT features a …

This review describes the unique opportunities and challenges for noninvasive optical
map** of human brain function. Diffuse optical methods offer safe, portable, and radiation …

Diffuse optical imaging and spectroscopy of the female breast is an area of active research.
We review the present status of this field and discuss the broad range of methodologies and …

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has now become widely accepted as a
common functional imaging modality. In order for fNIRS to achieve genuine neuroimaging …

Diffuse optical tomography (DOT) is an attractive approach for evaluating stroke physiology.
It provides hemodynamic and metabolic imaging with unique potential for continuous …

Diffuse optical imaging (DOI) is a noninvasive optical technique that employs near‐infrared
(NIR) light to quantitatively characterize the optical properties of thick tissues. Although NIR …

Breast cancer is anticipated to be responsible for almost 40,000 deaths in the USA in 2011.
The current clinical detection techniques suffer from limitations which motivated researchers …

We have measured the bulk optical properties of healthy female breast tissues in vivo in the
parallel plate, transmission geometry. Fifty-two volunteers were measured. Blood volume …
