| As the increased prevalence of breast cancer and the advances in breast evaluation
awareness have resulted in an increased number of breast examinations and
benign breast biopsies, several investigations have been performed to improve the
diagnostic accuracy for breast lesions. Optical imaging of the breast that uses nearinfrared
light to assess the optical properties of breast tissue is a novel non-invasive
imaging technique to characterize breast lesions in clinical practice. This review provides
a summary of the current state of optical breast imaging and it describes the
basic concepts of optical imaging, the potential clinical applications for breast cancer
imaging and its potential incorporation with other imaging modalities. |
