Breast Imaging With Ultrasound Tomography: Initial Results With Softvue

The purpose of this paper is to describe the technical and clinical performance of SoftVue, a breast imaging device based on the principles of ultrasound tomography. We report on initial results from data acquired from 30 participants in a recently undertaken clinical study. Initial results suggest that SoftVue can accurately image the full range of breast anatomy, including both benign lesions and cancer. Ongoing research is focused on assessing SoftVue's ability to differentiate benign masses from cancer.
