A system and method for using near-infrared or short-wave infrared (SWIR) light sources for early detection and monitoring of breast cancer, as well as other kinds of cancers may detect decreases in lipid content and increases in collagen content, possibly with a shift in the collagen peak wavelengths and changes in spectral features associated with hemoglobin and water content as well. Wavelength ranges between 1000-1400 nm and 1600-1800 nm may permit relatively high penetration depths because they fall within local minima of water absorption, scattering loss decreases with increasing wavelength, and they have characteristic signatures corresponding to overtone and combination bands from chemical bonds of interest, such as hydrocarbons. Broadband light sources and detectors permit spectroscopy in transmission, reflection, and/or diffuse optical tomography. High signal-to-noise ratio may be achieved using a fiber-based super-continuum light source. Risk of pain or skin damage may be mitigated using surface cooling and focused infrared light.

The method shows how to violate predictions of quantum mechanics for matter. For light, the method has been disclosed in patent application Photon Violation Spectroscopy. The methods are different in specifying different methods for light and matter. For matter, the method typically uses the single 5.5 MeV alpha (He++) emitted from the radioisotope Americium-241 in spontaneous decay, a thin gold foil beam splitter, and two surface barrier alpha detectors. The detectors deliver a characteristic electrical pulse with amplitude proportional to matter wave energy. A circuit reads the coincidence rate and singles rates of pulses from the two detectors. Quantum mechanics predicts that the particle would go one way or the other at the beam splitter, and coincident detections of pulses characteristic of such a particle would occur only at an easily calculated chance rate. However, the method at hand shows such characteristic pulses occur in coincidence at a rate greatly exceeding chance. By exceeding chance the method demonstrates surpassing a binding energy threshold and predictions of quantum mechanics. The degree above chance is a new measure in fundamental physics and is usable as a material science probe of the beam splitter. An apparatus specially designed to test for the absence of true coincidences and then perform a beam splitting test to show split-beam coincidences becomes useful in applying the method of Particle Violation Spectroscopy to material science. Fundamental discoveries in physics have been made with this method; therefore it is a method of discovery in physics.
