TL;DR: A breast measurement apparatus as mentioned in this paper comprises a receptacle for surrounding a breast, a plurality of optical fibers for irradiating the breast with examination light and detecting transmitted scattered light from the breast, an inner image generation unit for generating an optical CT image concerning the breast according to a detection signal of the transmitted scattered signals, an ultrasonic probe, arranged so as to face the inside of the receptacle, for scanning the breast and receiving a reflected wave from the exposed breast, and an image generator for generating a mammogram concerning the mammogram according to the reflected wave.

TL;DR: A potential application of this TRS system in examining deep brain tissues of humans is demonstrated as the level of hemoglobin and the SO2 were strongly correlated between the human head measurements in transmittance mode and the forehead measurements in the reflectance mode, respectively.

TL;DR: In this paper, a temporal profile of the light intensity of the detected light is acquired, and on the basis of the temporal profile, an mean optical path length of light in the interior of the scattering-absorption body and information relating to the amount of substance to be measured in a region of the body is calculated.

TL;DR: In this article, a mammographic measuring apparatus which is capable of acquiring an ultrasonic image and an optical CT image under the same measurement condition is presented. But, the mammographic measurement apparatus is not suitable for the acquisition of both images and CT images.

TL;DR: To measure cerebral tissue hemoglobin in uncomplicated and complicated pregnant women during the peripartum period to find out if there are any differences in the levels ofoglobin in the brain during this period of pregnancy.
