| خلاصه مقاله | Introduction:
Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor and the second cause of death, after heart diseases, among women in worldwide. Initial diagnosis and timely detection of breast cancer improve survival rate and result in decreased mortality. Optical imaging (OI) refers to a variety of techniques using near infrared (NIR) light and visible light to provide molecular, morphologic, and functional information, probing absorption, scattering, and fluorescence properties of cells or tissues. This new advance in imaging era of the breast contains specific techniques which are going to be discussed in the following subtitles.
Methods:
All findings from various individual studies are analyzed statistically by strict procedures. Meta-Analyses are used to pool the results of individual studies. Materials involve systematic NCBI with subgroups of pubmed and PMC search of nearly 28 articles specified in breast cancer and its detection by using optical imaging. In details, 8 articles are specified in DOT of method, 12 are about MIS method and 8 are about EIS method of optical imaging in breast cancer.
Result:
A structural study of the breast is possible using OI and is relatively easily performed. All optical imaging systems use three diverse clarification methods: continuous wave (CW), time-domain photon migration (TDPM), and frequency-domain photon migration (FDPM). Also other contemporary techniques such as Diffuse Optical Spectroscopy, Diffuse Optical Imaging, Diffuse Optical Tomography, Fluorescence Optical Tomography and Photoacoustic Imaging are discussed in the article and all of above have their specific and main role in detection of breast cancer. All these methods advantages and disadvantages with case analysis have been discussed in the mentioned article.
Discussion & Conclusion:
Varied methods of optical imaging have advanced the detection of breast cancer. In this article, the current and clinically applied breast cancer imaging optical modalities are defined. With a need for an early detection of breast cancer, the application of optical imaging modality is defined and diverse methods pros and cons have been included in this article. |
