Abstract

Diffuse optical imaging (DOI) is a promising noninvasive and nonionizing method for breast imaging. Several research groups have developed hand-held-based optical imaging devices which are portable and patient-comfortable toward clinical translation of the technology. The different hand-held optical devices developed to date are reviewed herein with a focus on the clinical applications. The hand-held device developed at Florida International University is unique in its ability to perform 3-D tomography using DOI alone via self-coregistration facilities. Results demonstrate the ability of the device to perform 2-D imaging and 3-D tomography in human breast tissue.
