Abstract
A clinical diffuse optical imager in the compressed breast geometry is used to determine the bulk optical properties and blood saturation in breast tissue of volunteers. We use a finite difference based forward model for the estimation of bulk tissue optical properties. The method is tested on tissue phantoms made of balloons and Intralipid, and is then applied in-vivo. Careful modeling of the chest wall was found to be critical for optical property determination.
