OPTICAL FIBER PROBE ARRANGEMENT FOR USE WITH X-RAY MAMMOGRAPHY

摘要

An exemplary apparatus can be provided to determine information regarding a sample(s), which can include, for example an arrangement(s) composed of, at least partially, a particular material in a predetermined area thereof, and including a light facilitating device that can be configured to provide or receive a light radiation(s) to or from the sample(s). The particular material can have a characteristic which can facilitate a sufficient amount of X-ray radiation to pass therethrough so as to generate an X-ray image(s). An X-ray absorption of the material can be at most about 10 times that of a ¼″ acrylic plate. The light facilitating device can include a light transmitting configuration which can provide the light radiation(s) to the sample.
