Existing imaging modalities for breast cancer screening, diagnosis and therapy monitoring, namely X-ray mammography and magnetic resonance imaging, have been proven to have limitations. Diffuse optical imaging is a set of non-invasive imaging modalities that use near-infrared light, which can be an alternative, if not replacement, to those existing modalities. This review covers the background knowledge, recent clinical outcome, and future outlook of this newly emerging medical imaging modality.
