Advanced analysis of multiparametric volumetric ultrafast ultrasound: a novel approach for non-invasive breast cancer diagnosis

Tumour development follows a diversity of complementary biological pathways, including the modification of the tissue structure and vascularization, which are not currently captured by imaging techniques in the clinic. Breast cancer patients undergo a series of imaging sessions using complementary modalities, including ionizing mammographies. In many cases, this imaging is not precise enough for a diagnosis, so that tissue samples in the form of biopsies are used to further characterize the tumour and determine the appropriate treatment. Beyond the pain and stress associated with biopsies, this complex process is costly and time consuming, and delays the time to diagnosis. Ultrasound B-mode…
