Because breast tissue has relatively high optical contrast, laser light can penetrate deeply to find tumor margins during surgery. Researchers at Washington University of St. Louis and the California Institute of Technology have shown the relative advantage of photoacoustic imaging, in the case of breast cancer, over usual histology methods which can’t be completed during surgery.
