Label-free quantitative evaluation of breast tissue using Spatial Light Interference Microscopy (SLIM)

Abstract Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women worldwide. The standard histopathology of breast tissue, the primary means of disease diagnosis, involves manual microscopic examination of stained tissue by a pathologist. Because this method relies on qualitative information, it...
