Abstract
Researchers in optical biomedical imaging are pursuing a dream that someday soon they will develop noninvasive modalities enabling doctors to peer inside the human body by shining light. By analyzing how light interacts with tissues, these “optical body scanners” would help doctors diagnose lesions such as tumors in the breast, and would determine whether a tumor is malignant or benign.
