Photoacoustic Imaging of the Breast in Patients With Breast Cancer and Healthy Subjects

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Breast Carcinoma, Healthy Subject

In brief

This trial studies photoacoustic imaging of the breast in patients with breast cancer and healthy subjects. Dense breasts typically reduce the sensitivity of a mammography and also is associated with a higher risk of breast cancer. Photoacoustic tomography combines light and sound to provide more information about breast tissue.
