Optical transillumination spectroscopy of breast tissue for correlation of parenchymal density patterns

Lothar Lilge, Michelle Simick, and Brian Wilson

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

Parenchymal density patterns have been utilised in x-ray mammography to predict breast cancer risk. Transillumination spectral information is derived from the same tissue composition changes, causing x-ray density patterns, predating cancer development. Establishing equivalency between the two techniques is pursuit through PCA analysis and quantification of tissue chromophores.
