31. Ultrasound Tomography for Breast Cancer Screening

Neb Duric (Delphinus Medical Technologies and Karmanos Cancer Institute)

11/3/17, 9:30 AM

Main Track

Oral

Both mammography and standard ultrasound (US) rely upon subjective criteria within the breast imaging reporting and data system (BI-RADS) to provide more uniform interpretation outcomes, as well as differentiation and risk stratification of associated abnormalities. We have been developing a new technique for breast imaging that is based on ultrasound tomography which quantifies tissue...

24. 3D Ultrasound Tomography for Breast Cancer Diagnosis at KIT: an Overview

Nicole Ruiter (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology)

11/3/17, 9:50 AM

Main Track

Oral

3D USCT emitting and receiving spherical wave fronts overcomes the limitations of 2D systems by offering a nearly isotropic 3D point spread function, a large depth of field, less loss of out-of-plane reflections and fast 3D data acquisition. Yet 3D devices for clinical practice require a more complex hard- and software due to the huge data rate, time-consuming image reconstruction, and large...

11. Breast Tissue Characterization with Sound Speed and Tissue Stiffness Imaging

Cuiping Li (Delphinus Medical Technologies, Inc., USA)

Main Track

Oral

In this study, we are going to assess the ability of SoftVue’s waveform sound speed and through-transmission based stiffness image to render a variety of breast tissue and breast masses.
