Advanced Ultrasound Signal Processing of Suspicious Breast Images
Enrolling by invitation
Conditions studied: Breast Cancer, Breast Cyst, Microcalcification
In brief
This study aims to investigate recent developments in ultrasound signal processing to determine if these new techniques can enhance the visibility of important features of interest in breast ultrasound images. Ultrasound signals obtained from both standard ultrasound imaging and ultrasound imaging combined with light (also known as photoacoustic imaging) will be investigated.
