In breast cancer, a biopsy is the only diagnostic procedure that can determine if a suspicious lump or area is cancerous. However, in the U.S., between 75% and 80% of breast biopsies are benign.

Diffuse Optical Tomography (DOT) is an innovative, non‐invasive imaging modality that exploits near‐infrared light to probe the functional properties of breast tissue. By measuring optical parameters ...

Diffuse optical spectroscopy and imaging have emerged as versatile techniques for investigating the optical properties of complex media, particularly in biomedical, environmental and agricultural ...

Diffuse optical techniques have proven to be valuable methods for non-invasively observing blood flow in living subjects. A number of modalities have been developed, with diffuse correlation ...

Scientists have unveiled a new way to capture ultra-sharp optical images without lenses or painstaking alignment. The ...

A project at Spain's ICFO research center has employed diffuse optics in a platform designed to monitor thyroid health, to assist disease diagnosis and therapy. Thyroid diseases affect 200 million ...
