Dual Scan Mammoscope (DSM)—A New Portable Photoacoustic Breast Imaging System With Scanning in Craniocaudal Plane

Conclusion: Our system possesses the benefits of portability, speedy scanning, and patient comfort. The craniocaudal-view images can be easily correlated with existing imaging modalities for data interpretation. Significance: Early cancer detection plays a critical role in overall cancer survival rate. Our system may address the limitations of mammogram and offer a radiation-free screening technique for patients with dense breasts.
