Thermoacoustic imaging over large field of view for three‐dimensional breast tumor localization: A phantom study

Abstract

The experimental results demonstrated that the USMP TAI system offered significant potential for noninvasive clinical detection and 3D localization of deep breast tumors, with low microwave radiation dose and high spatial resolution over a sufficiently large FOV.

Application of three-dimensional wire localization and orientation in the resection of non-palpable breast lesions

“…The 3D stereo wire localization technique guided by the molybdenum target may identify an earlier palpation-negative lesion that can only be found in the X-ray examination through guide wire orientation to direct clinicians during excision and the pathological examination. This is important in the precise excision of the lesion, which can further improve the earlier diagnostic rate of breast cancer and the accurate rate of resection (9). …”

Influence of magnetic field on the periodically oscillating fluid inside a porous medium attached to a thick solid plate

“…For example, thermoacoustic heat engine [11,12], refrigerators [13], gas mixture separators [14], electrical energy generators [15], heat exchangers [16], imaging systems for tumor detection [17], and breast cancer detection systems [18].…”

Effect of magnetic field on the Nusselt number of a multi-plate thermoacoustic system

“…This unique energy conversion mechanism can be used for different potential applications, such as a heat exchanger [7], engine [8], refrigerator [9], gas mixture separator [10], and power generator [11]. Thermoacoustic concepts are also used as an intermediate step for cancer cell detector [12], and tumor detector [13]. A typical thermoacoustic system consists of three major elements: a stack and two heat exchangers placed inside a resonance tube.…”
