Existing imaging modalities for breast cancer screening, diagnosis and therapy monitoring, namely X-ray mammography and magnetic resonance imaging, have been proven to have limitations. Diffuse optical imaging is a set of non-invasive imaging modalities that use near-infrared light, which can be an alternative, if not replacement, to those existing modalities. This review covers the background knowledge, recent clinical outcome, and future outlook of this newly emerging medical imaging modality.
现有的用于乳腺癌筛查、诊断和治疗监测的成像方式,即X线乳房造影术和磁共振成像,已被证明存在局限性。漫射光学成像是一组使用近红外光的非侵入性成像方式,如果不能替代现有方式,也可作为一种备选方案。本文综述了这种新兴医学成像方式的背景知识、近期临床成果及未来展望。
