Minimizing Uncertainty in Breast Ultrasound Imaging with Real-Time Coherence-Based Beamforming
Administrative Supplement Application — NIH R01 EB032960 (PI: Bell) Project Summary Approximately 280,000 women are expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States in 2021 and more than 40,000 will die from the disease.
