Abstract:
The Imperium Inc. transmission ultrasound system is a highly promising novel method for imaging the breast. In this pilot project, we are to work with Imperium to advise and help them modify their existing system for non- destructive testing into one suitable for breast imaging, perform a physics evaluation and perform a small clinical pilot feasibility trial. The initiation of this project was delayed by non-approval of the human use portion of the project. We have received US Army Human Use approval for study of tissue samples. During this past year, we provided technical advice to Imperium, and have performed physics tests and in imaging of pieces of animal tissue obtained in a supermarket. Imperium has improved the machine during this past year and we will be starting human tissue tests shortly. They have created a prototype of a dry system and have designed a potential system for clinical use that is yet to be constructed. We will describe some of these improvements in this annual report.
