We compared the diagnostic accuracy of label-free Photon Absorption Remote Sensing (PARS) virtual hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining to conventional histology in breast cancer core needle biopsy (CNB) samples. Matching PARS virtual H&E and real H&E images were acquired for seven breast CNB samples representing a spectrum of histologies. Seven board certified pathologists, blinded to the image origin, provided diagnostic evaluations of each sample. A kappa concordance analysis was performed and revealed 'substantial' agreement (kappa > 0.6) between the PARS and H&E pairs in primary diagnosis. Pathologists were unable to distinguish the true origin of the PARS virtual H&E images.
