Breast density, as assessed by mammography, reflects breast tissue composition. Breast
epithelium and stroma attenuate x-rays more than fat and thus appear light on mammograms …

Ultrasound computed tomography (USCT) holds great promise for improving the detection
and management of breast cancer. Because they are based on the acoustic wave equation, …

Application of the frequency domain acoustic wave equation on data acquired from ultrasound
tomography scans is shown to yield high resolution sound speed images on the order of …

Waveform tomography results are presented from 800 kHz ultrasound transmission scans of
a breast phantom, and from an in vivo ultrasound breast scan: significant improvements are …

Conventional sonography, which performs well in dense breast tissue and is comfortable
and radiation-free, is not practical for screening because of its operator dependence and the …

Breast density is one of the strongest predictors of breast cancer risk. Women with the densest
breasts are four- to six-times more likely to develop cancer compared with those with the …

For women with dense breast tissue, who are at much higher risk for developing breast cancer,
the performance of mammography is at its worst. Consequently, many early cancers go …

A population of 165 women with negative mammographic screens also received an ultrasound
tomography (UST) examination at the Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit, MI. Standard …

Ultrasound computed tomography (USCT) holds great promise for breast cancer screening.
Waveform inversion-based image reconstruction methods account for higher order …

Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is a non-invasive, high-resolution imaging modality, capable
of providing functional and molecular information of various pathologies, such as cancer. …
