DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project will investigate a super high-resolution, large area ultrasound detector to produce instant, spatially correlated, full-field mammography-like ultrasound projection image of the breast. The aim is to determine if additional information can be provided for "suspicious" areas on a mammogram to rule out false positives as well as detect missed cancers on a mammogram to decrease false negatives. Successful completion of this work may provide a superior breast cancer screening process, which could dramatically reduce the current levels of unnecessary follow-up procedures and biopsies. In Phase I, the goals are to first construct a laboratory breast imaging based on the super high-resolution ultrasound area detector and test feasibility of such a system using phantoms and a limited number of patients. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The successful development of the proposed AO sensor based breast imaging device could enable the generation of instant, full-field, mammography-like ultrasound breast images that are spatially correlated with mammograms. They could provide additional information to significant reduce the false positives and false negatives on current mammograms, thereby reducing the number of follow-up procedures and biopsies.

描述（由申请人提供）：本项目将研究一种超高分辨率、大面积的超声探测器，用于产生即时、空间相关、全视野的乳房超声投影图像。目的是确定是否可以为乳房x光片上的“可疑”区域提供额外的信息，以排除假阳性，并在乳房x光片上发现遗漏的癌症，以减少假阴性。这项工作的成功完成可能会提供一个更好的乳腺癌筛查过程，这可能会大大减少目前不必要的随访程序和活组织检查的水平。第一阶段的目标是首先构建一个基于超高分辨率超声区域检测器的实验室乳房成像系统，并使用幻影和有限数量的患者测试该系统的可行性。公共卫生相关性：提出的基于AO传感器的乳房成像设备的成功开发可以生成即时的、全视野的、与乳房x光检查相似的超声乳房图像，这些图像在空间上与乳房x光检查相关。它们可以提供额外的信息，大大减少目前乳房x光检查的假阳性和假阴性，从而减少后续手术和活组织检查的次数。
