Transvaginal Ultrasound and Photoacoustic Imaging of the Ovary

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Oophorectomy

In brief

The investigators have developed co-registered photoacoustic and ultrasound (US) imaging technique that allows the investigators to visualize tumor structure and functional changes simultaneously, which may potentially reveal early tumor angiogenesis development that is not available by US alone. The ability to detect early angiogenesis changes, as well as tumor morphology changes in the ovary, using a non-invasive imaging modality will greatly enhance the care for women.
