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, lesion characterization, therapy monitoring and prediction of therapy outcome. 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.

  • 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, lesion characterization, therapy monitoring and prediction of therapy outcome. 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.

  • La mammografia ottica è un'emergente tecnica di imaging che consente, attraverso l'analisi spettrale, lo studio della composizione del seno, combinando in un unico strumento non invasivo la capacità di valutare il rischio di contrarre il cancro al seno, di caratterizzare una lesione al seno, di monitorare la terapia e di prevederne l'esito. Si tratta di un'applicazione dell'ottica diffusa, una branca della fisica che studia la propagazione della luce in mezzi fortemente diffusivi, per esempio i tessuti biologici, operando nella gamma spettrale del rosso e del vicino infrarosso, tra 600 e 1100 nm.
