Imaging studies of the breast comprise three principal sensing domains: structural, mechanical, and functional. Combinations of these domains can yield either additive or wholly new information, depending on whether one domain interacts with the other. In this report, we describe a new approach to breast imaging based on the interaction between controlled applied mechanical force and tissue hemodynamics. Presented is a description of the system design, performance characteristics, and representative clinical findings for a second-generation dynamic near-infrared optical tomographic breast imager that examines both breasts simultaneously, under conditions of rest and controlled mechanical provocation. The expected capabilities and limitations of the developed system are described in relation to the various sensing domains for breast imaging.
结构、机械和功能。这些领域的组合可以产生附加信息或全新信息，这取决于一个领域是否与另一个领域相互作用。在本报告中，我们描述了一种基于受控施加的机械力与组织血流动力学之间相互作用的乳房成像新方法。本文介绍了第二代动态近红外光学断层扫描乳房成像仪的系统设计、性能特征和代表性临床发现，该成像仪可在静息和受控机械刺激条件下同时检查双侧乳房。针对乳房成像的各种传感领域，描述了所开发系统的预期能力和局限性。
