MRI-Guided Diffuse Optical Spectroscopy of Malignant and Benign Breast Lesions

MRI-Guided Diffuse Optical Spectroscopy of Malignant and Benign Breast Lesions

We present the clinical implementation of a novel hybrid system that combines magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and near-infrared (NIR) optical measurements for the noninvasive study of breast cancer in vivo. Fourteen patients were studied with a MR-NIR prototype imager and spectrometer. A diffuse o...
