Three-Dimensional Breast Anatomy Imaging System
One of the advantages of this imaging system is the accuracy with which it can image breast tissue and monitor subsequent changes throughout the course of therapy. With this breast anatomy imaging system, clinicians can overcome the limitation of conventional technologies and accurately track the position of the optical probe as measurements are recorded. This will improve the clinician’s ability to measure the same region of interest and increase the measurement sensitivity by minimizing uncertainties involved with optical handheld probe position placement.

Background Pres-surgical chemotherapy is a treatment commonly used for locally advanced breast cancer. The patient’s response to the pre-surgical chemotherapy is monitored to improve survival and reduce morbidity. In order to accurately distinguish between tumor and surrounding breast tissue, a method that can quantitatively monitor tumor response to this chemotherapy needs to be developed.
