OPTICAL FUNCTIONAL MAMMOSCOPE

The invention belongs to the field of medicine and biology, and more specifically, the invention encompasses an apparatus for performing functional imaging of biological objects. It can be used to distinguish between normal and pathological states in women's mammary glands. The aim of this invention is to increase the reliability of detection of peculiarities in the patient's physiological status, including detection of cancer. Visualization and early diagnosis of different mammary gland pathologies are achieved by recording dynamic images of both mammary glands while illuminating alternatively from opposite sides. The data thus obtained is subsequently combined and processed.
