Summary:Noninvasive diffuse optical technologies are introduced for the future application for lymphoma diagnosis/treatment monitoring. Diffuse optical technologies measure tumor physiology in deep tissues in vivo, and demonstrate efficacy for tumor detection and chemotherapy response monitoring. Light has been used to see tumors in thick human tissues for several decades. Based on the idea that the interaction between the light and tumor provides its pathology related information, biomedical optics technology has advanced to be more quantitative and more accurate so that it can be used for tumor diagnosis and treatment monitoring.
