• Subjects: breast cancer; reduced scattering coefficient; tissue oxygen saturation; hemoglobin

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of the thickness and depth of tumors on hemoglobin measurements in breast cancer by optical spectroscopy and to demonstrate tissue oxygen saturation (SO2) and reduced scattering coefficient (μs′) in breast tissue and breast cancer in relation to...
