Ultrasonic diffraction tomography enhances breast cancer imaging resolution by using the total diffracted field, improving tissue contrast and enabling image parameterization for better diagnostics.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Acoustics

Background:

  • Echography relies solely on reflected ultrasound fields, limiting image resolution and contrast.
  • Speckle interference phenomena in echography can obscure details in breast tissue imaging.
  • Improved resolution and contrast are crucial for accurate breast cancer detection and characterization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an experimental setup for rapid acquisition of ultrasonic diffracted fields.
  • To construct two-dimensional tomographic images using ultrasonic diffraction tomography.
  • To enhance breast cancer imaging by improving resolution and contrast over traditional echography.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized ultrasonic diffraction tomography, combining the total diffracted field for imaging.

  • Developed a multichannel circular ultrasound antenna array with eight focused transducers.
  • Implemented a system for fast acquisition of the diffracted field data.

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved improved image resolution compared to conventional echography.
    • Enhanced contrast between different breast tissues and structures was observed.
    • Demonstrated the capability to parameterize the acquired tomographic images.

    Conclusions:

    • Ultrasonic diffraction tomography offers superior resolution and contrast for breast imaging.
    • The developed experimental setup enables fast data acquisition for tomographic image reconstruction.
    • This technique holds promise for more accurate breast cancer diagnosis by overcoming limitations of echography.
