Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of the Size, Position, and Optical Properties of Breast Tumors in Vivo by Noninvasive Optical Methods
Sergio Fantini,Scott A. Walker,Maria Angela Franceschini,Michael Kaschke,Peter M. Schlag,K. Thomas Moesta +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that the tumor absorbs and scatters near-infrared light more strongly than the surrounding healthy tissue and can provide the clinical examiner with more detailed information about breast lesions detected by frequency-domain optical mammography, thereby enhancing its potential for specificity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time-domain optical mammography: initial clinical results on detection and characterization of breast tumors
Dirk Grosenick,K. Thomas Moesta,Heidrun Wabnitz,Jörg Mucke,Christian Stroszczynski,Rainer Macdonald,Peter M. Schlag,Herbert Rinneberg +7 more
TL;DR: Effective tumor optical properties derived from a homogeneous model were used to deduce physiological information and all tumors exhibited increased total hemoglobin concentration and decreased or unchanged blood oxygen saturation compared with surrounding healthy tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time-domain scanning optical mammography: II. Optical properties and tissue parameters of 87 carcinomas
Dirk Grosenick,Heidrun Wabnitz,K. Thomas Moesta,Jörg Mucke,Peter M. Schlag,Herbert Rinneberg +5 more
TL;DR: In vivo optical properties of the subset of 87 histologically validated carcinomas which were visible in optical mammograms recorded at two or three near-infrared wavelengths are reported on.
Journal ArticleDOI
Concentration and oxygen saturation of haemoglobin of 50 breast tumours determined by time-domain optical mammography.
Dirk Grosenick,Heidrun Wabnitz,K. Thomas Moesta,Jörg Mucke,M. Möller,Christian Stroszczynski,Jana Stößel,Bernhard Wassermann,Peter M. Schlag,Herbert Rinneberg +9 more
TL;DR: Using a dual-wavelength (670 nm, 785 nm) time-domain scanning instrument, optical mammograms of 93 patients suspected of having breast cancer which was subsequently assessed histologically showed good separation between both kinds of tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frequency-domain optical mammography: Edge effect corrections
Sergio Fantini,Maria Angela Franceschini,Gerhard Gaida,Enrico Gratton,Helge Jess,William W. Mantulin,K. Thomas Moesta,Peter M. Schlag,Michael Kaschke +8 more
TL;DR: The proposed two-step procedure to deal with edge effects in laser-beam transillumination scanning of the human breast was applied to data from breast phantoms and from human breasts, providing higher contrast and detectability in optical mammography with respect to raw data breast images.
