Suite of 3D test objects for performance assessment of hybrid photoacoustic-ultrasound breast imaging systems.

ABSTRACT:

Significance

During the development and early testing phases of new photoacoustic (PA) breast imaging systems, several choices need to be made in aspects of system design and measurement sequences. Decision-making can be complex for state-of-the-art systems such as 3D hybrid photoacoustic-ultrasound (PA-US) breast imagers intended for multispectral quantitative imaging. These systems have a large set of design choices and system settings that affect imaging performance in different ways and often require trade-offs. Decisions have to be made carefully as they can strongly influence the imaging performance.

Aim

A systematic approach to assess the influence of various choices on the imaging performance in carefully controlled laboratory situations is crucial before starting wi
