- Abstract
- We apply ultrasound-modulated optical tomography (UOT) to image ex-vivo methylene-blue-dyed sentinel lymph nodes embedded in 3.2-cm-thick chicken breast tissues. The UOT system is implemented for the first time using ring-shaped light illumination, intense acoustic bursts, and charge-coupled device (CCD) camera-based speckle contrast detection. Since the system is noninvasive, nonionizing, portable, relatively cost effective, and easy to combine with photoacoustic imaging and single element ultrasonic pulse-echo imaging, UOT can potentially be a good imaging modality for the detection of sentinel lymph nodes in breast cancer staging in vivo.
