  1. Various Uses of Optical Imaging Blood Deoxygenation Blood Volume Suspicious area Telemedicine Remote Environments Co-registration of fMRI with fNIR Functional brain activity monitor Cancerous Area Blood Deoxygenation Blood Volume Non-Cancerous Area Pad Functional Near-Infrared Imaging of Breast BIOMEDICAL OPTICS RESEARCH P R O G R A M O V E R V I E W The maturing technologies of functional optical imaging of the brain using near infrared (NIR) are poised for broad-based deployment in military, civilian, educational, and health care applications. These applications range from alertness/vigilance monitoring and mental disorder assessment to the evaluation of cognitive engagement. This safe, affordable, portable, non-invasive, and non-intrusive technology can be used in high stress, high responsibility environments, as well as in health care and academic settings. Functional Optical Imaging of Brain Functional Optical Imaging of Breast Recent advancements in functional optical imaging of biological tissues using near infrared (NIR) have reached a level where a much broader based delivery of health care can be realized with this novel modality. Its potential use as a prescreening diagnostic tool for early detection of breast cancer offers an important complement to existing screening instruments that are too expensive and/or immobile. In particular, this safe, affordable, portable, and non-invasive technology makes a much-needed diagnostic tool available to underserved segments of the population.
