Abstract

PAMMOTH's objective is to develop, validate and begin exploitation of a dedicated
breast imaging device for a significant impact in breast cancer diagnosis. The
proposed device combines non-invasive 3D photoacoustic imaging and laser-induced
ultrasound imaging. The device will provide near real-time, full-breast,
multimodal images to the radiologist. From the ultrasound mode, the radiologist
will visualize anatomical features and extent of tumors, and from multiwavelength
photoacoustics, she will see tumor vascularity. Quantitative spectroscopic
photoacoustic images will be extracted off-line, providing the radiologist
information relating to tumor physiology and function such as angiogenesis and
hypoxia.
The choice of the relevant biological targets, and of the functionalities and
technical principles applied in the PAMMOTH imager, will enable sensitive,
accurate and quantitative measurements of these targets. This will provide
relevant information to the radiologist to make accurate diagnosis with high
specificity.
We aim to make the imaging device such for all populations of women, with short
time intervals between positive screening and diagnosis, having high through-put,
possessing no carcinogenic potential and causing no pain and discomfort to
patients.
