Transmitted NIR optical images of the left breast from subject #2 that were captured at a constant pressure applied on the breast (in all images).

Notes: (A) NIR image was captured with applied pressure and without target. (B) NIR image was captured with applied pressure and with the target placed at the location indicated by the hollow black circle at 6 o’clock. (C) Post-processed NIR image after co-registering, subtracting, and masking. The black hollow circle in (B) and (C) depicts the 2D location of the target at 6 o’clock position in the intramammary fold of the left breast.
