Our wearable breast cancer probe published in JBO
Ph.D. student Sam Spink was the first author in our new paper which describes the design and performance of a new highly flexible wearable probe that uses near infrared light to probe breast tissue. Sam and the research team explored how paced (slow) breathing can be used to quantify the hemodynamic state of breast tissue, with the near future application of monitor breast tumors during chemotherapy. Thanks to the large and diverse team of engineers, physicists, and physicians for this one.
This paper is included in JBO’s special series on WEARABLE, IMPLANTABLE, MOBILE, AND REMOTE BIOMEDICAL OPTICS AND PHOTONICS
