Replacing Mammography with Light and Ultrasound
ENSCHEDE, Netherlands, Oct. 24, 2013 — A new device called a photoacoustic mammoscope combines infrared light and ultrasound to create 3-D maps of the breast. Its creators hope that it could someday replace the x-rays used in traditional mammography for routine breast cancer screenings. Breast cancer is one of the most common forms of the disease and a leading cause of death among women worldwide. Traditional mammography, which uses x-rays, is routinely used to screen women. Top: A top and side view of a 3-D reconstructed...
