Developing ultrasound optical tomography for deep tissue imaging of the breast
Ultrasound Optical Tomography (UOT) combines the high-resolution imaging capability of ultrasound with measurements of light absorption and scattering properties of human tissue. This non-invasive technique could distinguish between cancerous and non-cancerous lesions inside the breast tissue, follow tumor shrinkage during preoperative treatment, or provide information on blood oxygenation levels.
