AbstractOptical imaging is an inexpensive, fast, and sensitive imaging approach for the noninvasive detection of human cancers in locations that are accessible by an optical imaging device. Light is used to probe cellular and molecular function in the context of cancer in the living body. Recent advances in the development of optical instrumentation make it possible to detect optical signals produced at a tissue depth of several centimeters. The optical signals can be endogenous contrasts that capture the heterogeneity and biological status of different tissues, including tumors, or extrinsic optical contrasts that selectively accumulate in tumors to be imaged after local or systemic delivery. The use of optical imaging is now being applied in the clinic and operating room for the localization and resection of malignant tumors in addition to screening for cancer.Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Inc.
