| Purpose | investigation of the breast composition through spectral analysis |
Diffuse optical mammography, or simply optical mammography, is an emerging imaging technique that enables the investigation of the breast composition through spectral analysis. It combines in a single non-invasive tool the capability to implement breast cancer risk assessment,[2] lesion characterization,[3] therapy monitoring[4] and prediction of therapy outcome.[5] It is an application of diffuse optics, which studies light propagation in strongly diffusive media, such as biological tissues, working in the red and near-infrared spectral range, between 600 and 1100 nm.[6]
