Ultrafast near infrared (NIR) lasers have been proposed as a tool for detection and diagnosis of breast disease. The advantage of using NIR photons is that they are non-ionising and hence provide a greater degree of patient safety than existing X-ray imaging methods. The investigation of NIR photon imaging techniques has also been pursued because NIR photons may be able to provide useful functional physiological and diagnostic information not present in X-ray images.
