    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Optics
    • Medical Imaging
    • Quantitative Breast Imaging

    Background:

    • Accurate breast density quantification is crucial for breast cancer risk assessment and mammography interpretation.
    • Current methods for breast density assessment have limitations in accuracy and reproducibility.
    • Diffuse optical tomography (DOT) offers a non-invasive approach to probe tissue optical properties.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the feasibility of structured-light-based DOT for quantifying breast density.
    • To develop and validate a method for estimating breast density using DOT-derived parameters.
    • To correlate DOT-based breast density estimations with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a structured-light DOT system model for simulating light propagation in breast tissues.
    • Creation of realistic numerical breast phantoms based on MRI images with varying tissue morphologies.
    • Simulation of DOT data at five wavelengths to reconstruct absorption images and chromophore concentration maps.
    • Extraction of quantitative parameters (volume, mean concentration) from reconstructed maps.
    • Application of a regression model to estimate percent breast density from extracted parameters.

    Main Results:

    • High correlation (r=0.97) between DOT-estimated and MRI-derived percent breast density values.
    • Successful reconstruction of chromophore concentration maps, reflecting tissue optical properties.
    • Demonstration of the ability to extract relevant parameters for density estimation.

    Conclusions:

    • Structured-light DOT is a feasible technique for non-invasively quantifying breast density.
    • The developed method shows high accuracy in estimating breast density compared to MRI.
    • This technique holds potential for improving breast cancer risk assessment and screening.
