TU‐E‐201C‐09: Photoacoustic Tomography for Imaging in the Mammographic Geometry

Purpose: To add spectroscopic photoacoustic tomography (S‐PAT) to an ultrasound imaging system in the mammographic geometry to test whether this minimally invasive and ultimately inexpensive modality can detect and interpret small vascular anomalies, providing information supplemental to that of x‐r...

Zusammenfassung:Purpose: To add spectroscopic photoacoustic tomography (S‐PAT) to an ultrasound imaging system in the mammographic geometry to test whether this minimally invasive and ultimately inexpensive modality can detect and interpret small vascular anomalies, providing information supplemental to that of x‐ray and ultrasound much as is done with MRI. Blood oxygenation and blood volume information from S‐PAT might replace or exceed information provided by MRI resolution, possibly without contrast agents. Method and Materials: The specimen surface is flooded with a
