DISCUSSION
Histopathology
Macroscopically
 30 mm, diffusely marginated suspicious area
 Almost attached to skin of the nipple
Microscopically
 Mixed infiltrating lobular and ductal carcinoma,
 Grade II
Discussion:
PAM can visualize breast malignancies:
 with high lesion-to-background contrast – 2x to 5.5x
 sometimes even in relatively dense breasts
 at relatively large depths – 33 mm
Lesion size is slightly underestimated using current thresholding
methods
Outlook:
Measure on different types of lesions
 find photoaocustic malignancy markers
 estimate the effect of breast density on performance
Guide developments towards future generations of PAM
