Original Abstract

In breast cancer diagnosis, standard ultrasound B-mode examination provides useful additional diagnostic information. However, interpretation of ultrasound images is very difficult because of poor spatial resolution, low contrast and the presence of speckles. In breast-tissue imaging, ultrasound transmission tomography is an alternative with potentially higher image quality. Although it has been researched for several decades, so far it has not been developed to a clinically applicable state. In this contribution, the current state of our research in attenuation imaging using ultrasound transmission tomography is described.
