Widefield ultra-high-density optical breast tomography system supplementing x-ray mammography by Miguel Mireles, Edward Xu, Morris Vanegas, Ailis Muldoon, Rahul Ragunathan, Shijie Yan, Bin Deng, Jayne Cormier, Mansi Saksena, Stefan A. Carp, Qianqian Fang

“…Abstract We report a wide-field compressive diffuse optical tomography (DOT) system – optical mammography co-imager (OMCI) – which aims to augment tens of thousands of existing x-ray mammography or tomosynthesis systems worldwide by adding functional assessment of breast tissue and improve cancer diagnosis. The OMCI system utilizes large field-of-view structured light illumination and single-pixel-camera based detection techniques to produce ultra-high spatial sampling density while ensuring that the inverse problem remains compact via the development of a unique target-adaptive pattern optimization technique to achieve compressive-sensing based measurements. …”
