Finally, a High Contrast 3-D Imaging for Breast Cancer
The first three-dimensional optical images of human breast cancer in patients based on tissue fluorescence have been created by University of Pennsylvania researchers.
Fluorescence diffuse optical tomography, or FDOT, relies on the presence of fluorophore molecules in tissue that re-radiate fluorescent light after illumination by excitation light of a different color.
The reconstructed images demonstrated significant tumor […]
