The current surgical procedure for breast diseases places an emphasis on the conservation of
breast skin in order to provide more optimal reconstruction.
The purpose of this study is to use portable, non-contact optical imaging device developed at
the Beckman Laser Institute called Spatial Frequency Domain Imaging to detect the changes in
a skin during reconstructive surgery procedure and healing process.
breast skin in order to provide more optimal reconstruction.
The purpose of this study is to use portable, non-contact optical imaging device developed at
the Beckman Laser Institute called Spatial Frequency Domain Imaging to detect the changes in
a skin during reconstructive surgery procedure and healing process.
The researchers can use Spatial Frequency Domain Imaging instrument to measure the
concentration of blood flow in the skin tissue and can determine of the changes that observed
in the properties of the mastectomy flap that may be delay in healing process.
The imaging device can determine the change from baseline measurement to the development of
skin necrosis, wound infection, or implant extrusion.

Inclusion Criteria:
- Adult male and female 18 years and older scheduled for breast reconstructive surgery.
