Optical imaging of the breast: evaluation of deoxyhemoglobin concentration alteration in 166 patients with suspicious breast lesions
This study investigates the performance of optical imaging evaluating deoxyhemoglobin concentration alteration (DeHCA) in breast tissues. The authors concluded that that DeHCA score was significantly higher in malignant than in benign lesions, but its accuracy was lower than that of mammography or US.
