3D images of benign and malignant breast tissue masses

By ACA | October 7, 2023

Microvessels in a malignant breast cancer mass look curved and jumbled together whereas benign breast tissue microvessels appear straight and separated. This video shows 3D ultrasound images of breast tissue microvessels from four different patients with benign or malignant masses. The images were captured by high-resolution ultrasound imaging software, compatible with many ultrasound machines, called quantitative high-definition microvessel imaging (q-HDMI). The software was developed at Mayo Clinic and is being used in research. Their findings are reported here:
