abstract = "We have developed a dynamic diffuse optical tomography imaging system that is capable of 3D imaging of both breasts simultaneously. In an ongoing study subjects receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy are imaged at 6 time points throughout their 5-month treatment. At each time point the subjects preform a breath hold to observe the hemodynamic effects in the breasts. For each session the percent change of various hemodynamic parameters during the breath hold is determined. Preliminary results from show statistically significant differences in washout rates and deoxyhemoglobin changes at the 2-week imaging point between subjects that respond and do not respond to treatment.",
