Breast Cancer
Research from University of Wisconsin provide new insights into breast cancer
March 12th, 2009
According to recent research from the United States, "Microwave-induced thermoacoustic tomography (MI-TAT) is an imaging technique that exploits dielectric contrast at microwave frequencies while creating images with ultrasound resolution. We propose the use of microbubbles as a dielectric contrast agent for enhancing the sensitivity of MI-TAT for breast cancer detection." "As an initial investigation of this concept, we experimentally studied the extent to which the microwave-induced thermoacoustic response of a dielectric target is modified by the presence of air-filled glass microbubbles. We created mixtures of ethylene glycol with varying weight percentages of...
