Our extensive preclinical and pilot clinical work, over several years, has enabled us to model successful pivotal trials of the scanner. Our published research and ongoing clinical trials are part of our company culture and continue to validate our technology and help us understand the significant implications for breast health assessment.

3D ultrasound tomography (3D-UT, or volography) gives heretofore unavailable resolution and accuracy in the 3D measurement of fibroglandular tissue in breast. The correct segmentation of the fibroglandular tissue requires an accurate high resolution speed of sound map which 3D UT (volography) produces and a robust segmentation algorithm. Our threshold based and Fuzzy C-means based algorithms have been compared and validated visually and with phantoms, and we show the effect of a row/column of dropouts on our reconstructions is minimal and indicate a variation of the volume of fibroglandular tissue in a variety of physiological situations for a select set of cases out of a larger 48 case cohort. We isolate glandular from ductal and structural tissue.

Elevated breast density is among the strongest independent predictors of breast cancer. Breast density scores are critical inputs in models used to calculate a patient’s lifetime risk of developing breast cancer. Today, the only FDA-cleared technology for assessing breast density uses mammography. An alternative modality for breast density quantification is 3D transmission ultrasound (TU). In this retrospective study, we compared automated breast density calculations derived from TU using Quantitative Breast Density (QBD) and mammography with tomosynthesis using VolparaDensity 3.1 for 225 breasts.

A growing body of evidence indicates that breast density is one of the most important independent risk factors of breast cancer. Currently, mammography is the only FDA‐cleared means to evaluate breast density in a general screening population.
We present 3D transmission ultrasound as a method to visualize and differentiate fibroglandular tissue within the breast and use a fully automated segmentation method machine learning‐based method to quantitatively assess the breast density. The results indicate that breast density as assessed by fully automated means using TU can be of significant clinical value and play an important role in breast cancer risk assessment.

Breast density is important in the evaluation of breast cancer risk. This work demonstrates that the QBD algorithm has promise as a viable method to accurately and consistently quantify breast density. Additional work is required to further define the utility of the QBD algorithm in a clinical setting.

In this study of full wave 3D ultrasound tomography of the knee, we found:
Even in the presence of bone, full 3D inverse scattering transmission ultrasound gives quantitative estimates of tissue characteristics
– Tendons, ligaments, cartilage, muscle, fat
– Acoustic energy interacts with tissue at super-molecular level, giving tissue characteristics unavailable with other modalities
– Periosteum, cortical thickness
Even in presence of bone, fused transmission and reflection images
– Speckle free –refraction corrected/compounded over 360 degrees
– High resolution
– Consistent over time

Full 3D inverse scattering ultrasound tomography is a novel method unused by others in medical imaging. The technology has a unique mechanical architecture capable of acquiring speed of sound and reflection images in 3D. The image reconstruction is computationally challenging and involves solving complex equations using high-performance computing. Laboratory studies demonstrate that the technique has high resolution and high contrast-to-noise ratios in both speed and reflection images. Clinical studies show that this technology is capable of visualizing breast microanatomy and breast microcalcifications along with providing a method for tissue classification using biomarkers. Finally, the technology has improved performance for imaging dense breasts. Full 3D inverse scattering ultrasound tomography offers unparalleled imaging of the breast including microanatomic features of the breast.

The speed of sound of breast macrocysts, as observed using transmission ultrasound, correlated with the cytological features of intracystic cell clumps. On the basis of this work with speed as a classifier, we propose a spectrum of breast macrocysts from fluid-filled to highly cellular. Our results suggest high-speed cysts are mature macrocysts with high cell counts and many cellular clumps that correlate with cyst microanatomy as seen by transmission ultrasound.

Quantitative Transmission (QT) ultrasound has shown promise as a breast imaging modality. This study characterizes the performance of the latest generation of QT ultrasound scanners: QTScanner 2000. The results show an improvement in the imaging performance of the system in comparison to earlier ultrasound tomography systems, which are applicable to clinical applications of the system, such as breast imaging.

We performed visual grading analysis studies comparing transmission ultrasound, digital x-ray mammography and hand-held ultrasound when visualizing ten normal breast anatomic structures. To compare the image quality of the three modalities, multiple readers scored the image quality of transmission ultrasound compared to the other two modalities using an ordinal rating scale. The study showed that transmission ultrasound can adequately see all the major anatomical features of the human breast, including ductal and glandular tissue detail, even in dense breasts.

This study shows the ability of QT ultrasound to determine whether a breast lesion is a cyst or a solid. QT ultrasound imaging was performed as adjunct to mammography. A total of fourteen readers evaluated the images. The results show that QT ultrasound provides an accurate assessment of a cyst versus a solid lesion in the breast.
