Breast Cancer Detection with Diffuse Optical Tomography

3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First, I would like to thank Professor Huabei Jiang, for his continuous support, trusts and precious advice during my study for the Ph.D. Professor Jiang is well-known in the field of optical tomography. His views and understandings on the research subjects are exceptional. As a professor, although his schedule is very tight, he is always available to help me on my research whenever I have frustrations. What I have learned and experienced in Professor Jiang's lab will definitely benefit my future career and life. his help on the algorithm development. Dr. Qiang Wang's suggestions on the experiments were always impressive. Miss Lin Chen, a graduate student in our lab, gave me lots of help in performing the clinical trial experiments. So did Dr. Xiaoping Liang. Their help is highly appreciated. Fourthly, thanks got to my wife, Pan Sheng, for her support. Without her support and encouragement, I could not have gotten through my graduate study. And thanks go to my lovely son, Jonathan Li, for giving me so many excellent memories and happiness. At last, thanks to NIH for the financial support on the breast cancer imaging project.
