| Abstract: | The degree of polarization of polarized light as it propagates through breast tissues depends on the type of tissue and light wavelength. This feature was used to image cancerous tissue where tumor was clearly distinguished from the normal tissue. ©2004 Copyright SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering. |
