Ultra-high-density, compressive and media- adaptive optical breast tomography platform
Project Summary/Abstract While the steady transition from 2-D mammography to 3-D digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in recent years has resulted in improved breast cancer diagnosis, x-ray based breast imaging techniques are inherently limited by their inability to provide physiologically relevant functional information. The persistent high percentages of unnecessary biopsies and poor sensitivity to malignant tumors among dense breasts and early-stage cancers have motivated the research community to seek additional functional assessment. Diffuse optical tomography (DOT) – a non-invasive imaging modality using only non-ionizing near-infrared light – has shown promise in fulfilling such a role…
