Abstract
A mammographic imaging device for analysis and detection of possible inhomogeneities in breast tissue of a patient using laser light in the near-infrared in diffuse reflectance geometry, includes a patient horizontal support comprising at least one transparent window in its cross-section and a measuring mechanism below the at least one transparent window and carried by said support. The measuring mechanism includes a laser-light producing mechanism for producing laser light beams in the near-infrared, a directing mechanism for directing said laser light beams towards the at least one transparent window, at least one wavelength filter, a light-sensing and imaging mechanism for sensing light and producing images and a controlling, processing and image-normalizing unit for controlling, processing and normalizing images.
