Abstract

Several hand-held based optical imaging devices have been developed towards breast imaging, which are portable, patient-comfortable, and use non-ionizing radiation. The devices developed to date are limited in that they have flat probe faces and are incapable of real-time coregistration (as needed for 3-D tomographic imaging). A hand-held based optical imager has been developed in our lab, which has unique features of (i) simultaneous over sequential source illumination, which enables rapid data acquisition, (ii) a flexible probe face, which enables it to contour to any tissue curvature, and (iii) self coregistration facilities towards 3-D tomographic imaging. Real-time coregistration is demonstrated using the imager via fluorescence-enhanced studies in the continuous-wave mode, performed on slab phantoms (filled with 1% Liposyn solution) and in vitro samples (chicken breast). Additionally, preliminary studies were conducted using curved phantoms. In all cases, a 0.45-cc target filled with 1 μM Indocyanine green was used to represent a tumor. Real-time 2-D surface images of the phantom were obtained via multiple scans at different target depths. Preliminary surface imaging studies demonstrated that the summation of multiple scans distinctly differentiated the target from artifacts (up to 3 cm deep), which was not possible from individual scans.
