1. A method of identifying and locating tissue abnormalities in a biological tissue, comprising:
irradiating an electromagnetic signal, via a transmitting probe, in the vicinity of a biological tissue, the electromagnetic signal being a first electromagnetic signal;
at a receiving probe, receiving the irradiated electromagnetic signal after the signal is scattered/reflected by the biological tissue, and the received electromagnetic signal being a second electromagnetic signal;
processing the first and second electromagnetic signals in conjunction with a signal representing a blood circulation cycle of the biological tissue;
providing blood flow information pertaining to the biological tissue based at least partly on the basis of the processing step;
communicating at least some of the provided blood flow information to a tissue properties reconstruction process;
via the tissue properties reconstruction process, reconstructing tissue properties of the biological tissue based in part on the second electromagnetic signal.
