Abstract
We have studied the dynamic changes in the optical absorption of tissues in animal studies following the inhalation of carbogen gas. Differential imaging enhanced the image contrast between normal and cancerous tissues.

Bibliographical note
Funding Information:We observe changes in the different hemoglobin concentrations following hyperoxia, which follow similar trends observed with point-based measurements of cancerous tumors, namely that the oxygenation of the tumors increases with elevated levels of oxygen inspiration [2,5]. Furthermore, the images below exhibit enhanced contrast between the cancerous tissue and the surrounding tissues of the rodents. This project was funded by the DOD Breast Cancer Research Program, DAMD170920109570.
