Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common cancer, and early detection is important to improve survival rates. For diagnosis, new imaging modality are required. Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is arguably the most exciting 3D molecular imaging technique, since it provides functional information on the hemoglobin distribution in breast that can be used to identify malignant lesions. PAI is an absorption technique where optical pulses are used to generate sound waves. It combines both the advantages of the high contrast of optical imaging and the deep penetration of acoustic imaging. We have developed an extreme sensitivity optomechanical ultrasound sensor. This sensor enables broadband, high-resolution PAI and present great future promise in advancing breast cancer screening.
