Bre ast-conserving surgery (BCS) removes tumor with margins of healthy tissue from patient’s body and is one of the main treatments for patients with early-stage breast cancer. However\, ~20-30% of patients undertaking BCS r equire a second surgery\, due to the lack of effective intraoperative canc er detection methods and residual cancer detected close to the margins of the excised mass after the initial surgery. Optical elastography\, an emer ging technique which maps the tissue mechanical properties into 2-D or 3-D images\, holds promise to assess tumor margins accurately and rapidly dur ing surgery\, enabling surgeons to ensure complete excision of tumor. We d eveloped optical elastography techniques based on optical coherence tomogr aphy and recently demonstrated an accuracy of 95% for tumor margin assessm ent on excised breast tissue using a benchtop system. In addition\, we dem onstrated the first in vivo intraoperative breast cancer detection using a handheld optical elastography probe. Moreover\, to optimize the likely up take of optical elastography by surgeons\, we developed a variant of optic al elastography\, termed camera-based optical palpation\, using simple\, c ost-effective digital cameras to assist surgeon remove the residual cancer . As camera-based optical palpation is cost-effective and portable\, it ho lds promise to be widely used not only in metropolitan hospitals but also in hospitals in rural and remote areas\, improving equity of access to opt imal treatment for patients.\n\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE North Jersey Section \n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Qi Fang\, \n\nAgenda: \nEvent Time: 1:15PM to 3:00 PM\ n\nVenue: Kiernan Conference Room (ECE 202)\, ECEC\, NJIT\, Newark\n\nRefr eshments: 1:45 PM\n\nTalk by Dr Qi Fang: 2:00 PM\n\nSeminar in ECE 202 All Welcome: There is no fee/charge for attending IEEE technical seminar.
