    Spatial variations in optical and physiological properties of healthy breast tissue
    with N. Shah, A. E. Cerussi, D. Jakubowski, D. Hsiang, and B. J. Tromberg
    Near-infrared diffuse optical spectroscopy and, diffuse optical imaging show promise as noninvasive clinical techniques for breast cancer screening and diagnosis. Since NIR methods are based on optical contrast between healthy and diseased tissue, it is essential to characterize the sources of endogenous contrast in normal subjects. We report intra- and inter-subject variation and bilateral asymmetry of the optical and physiological parameters of 31 women using a seven-wavelength NIR frequency-d…Read more

    Monitoring neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer using quantitative diffuse optical spectroscopy: A case study
    with D. B. Jakubowski, A. E. Cerussi, F. Bevilacqua, N. Shah, D. Hsiang, and B. J. Tromberg
    Presurgical chemotherapy is widely used in the treatment of locally advanced breast cancer. Monitoring the response to therapy can improve survival and reduce morbidity. We employ a noninvasive, near-infrared method based on diffuse optical spectroscopy to quantitatively monitor tumor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. DOS was used to monitor tumor response in one patient with locally advanced breast cancer throughout the course of her therapy. Measurements were performed prior to doxorubicin…Read more

    Spectroscopy enhances the information content of optical mammography
    with A. E. Cerussi, D. Jakubowski, N. Shah, F. Bevilacqua, R. Lanning, A. J. Berger, D. Hsiang, R. F. Holcombe, and B. J. Tromberg
    Near-infrared diffuse optical spectroscopy and imaging may enhance existing technologies for breast cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment. NIR techniques are based on quantitative measurements of functional contrast between healthy and diseased tissue. In this study we measured the spectral dependence of tissue absorption and reduced scattering in the breasts of 30 healthy women and one woman with a fibroadenoma using a seven-wavelength frequency-domain photon migration probe. Subjects incl…Read more
