Automated algorithm for differentiation of human breast tissue using low coherence interferometry for fine needle aspiration biopsy guidance

Automated algorithm for differentiation of human breast tissue using low coherence interferometry for fine needle aspiration biopsy guidance

Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is a rapid and cost-effective method for obtaining a first-line diagnosis of a palpable mass of the breast. However, because it can be difficult to manually discriminate between adipose tissue and the fibroglandular tissue more likely to harbor disease, this tech...
