  • Publication number: 20180092539
    Abstract: An optical probe for detecting a biological tissue includes a surface imaging module and a tomography capturing module. The surface imaging module captures and creates a surface image of the biological tissue, and at least includes a light source emitting a first detecting light. The tomography capturing module captures a tomography image of the biological tissue and receives a second detecting light. The first detecting light passes via a first optical path from the light source to an imaging sensor through the biological tissue, a telecentric lens, a first optical mirror, and a lens assembly in sequence. The second detecting light passes via a second optical path from a first collimator to the first collimator through a scanner, the first optical mirror, the telecentric lens, the biological tissue, the telecentric lens, the first optical mirror, the scanner, and the first collimator in sequence.

  • Patent number: 8712136
    Abstract: An image reconstruction method is described as follows. A structural image of an object is obtained. An actual optical detected result of the object is obtained. An inhomogeneous initial state is determined based on the structural image. At least one solution converged with the actual optical detected result is determined by iteratively calculating a physical model from the inhomogeneous initial state. The image of the object is reconstructed based on the solution.

  • Patent number: 8395120
    Abstract: A bidirectional optical scanner assisting in mammography is revealed. The optical scanner that calculates functional images obtained by diffuse optical tomography, used in combination with a mammography machine can reduce the number of mammograms taken and the dose exposure. The bidirectional optical scanner includes a first compression plate, a first optical detection module, a second optical detection module and a second compression plate. The same test position of the tested breast can be detected twice in different directions by the first and the second optical detection modules. No matter where the tumor is located, the tumor can be detected. Besides structural images provided by the mammography machine, functional tomographic images of the breast are obtained by the bidirectional optical scanner. Thus diagnostic accuracy in the detection of breast cancer is improved.
