Abstract

We recorded time domain optical mammograms for a large number of patients and derived optical properties of tumors and of healthy breast tissue at two optical wavelengths. Tumors could be detected essentially due to increased absorption, and were characterized by increased hemoglobin concentration and, in most cases, decreased oxygen saturation. Similar properties were found for dense glandular tissue.
