作者对5例有乳腺癌记录的患者进行了434 MHz无线电波热声计算机断层扫描（CT）。三名患者在化疗开始前接受了影像学检查，两名患者在初次化疗结束时接受了影像学检查。在前三例患者中，热声CT显示肿瘤区域的对比增强。在后两名患者中，没有看到对比增强，手术切除原发肿瘤区域后的病理检查证实疾病完全缓解。
The authors performed thermoacoustic computed tomography (CT) with 434-MHz radio waves in five patients with documented breast cancer. Th ree of the patients underwent imaging before chemotherapy was initiated and two at the conclusion of their primary chemotherapy. In the former three patients, thermoacoustic CT demonstrated contrast enhancement in the region of the tumor. In the latter two patients, no contrast enhancement was seen, and pathologic examination after surgical resection of the area of original tumor confirmed complete remission of disease.
