Breast cancer is one of the most common and fatal cancerous diseases among women. Worldwide, there are approx. 1,600,000 cases of breast cancer every year. Although the breast is not a vital organ, the number of women healed of this disease is not as large as it could be. If breast cancer is diagnosed early, patients have a good prognosis. Our ultrasound technique promises to localize breast cancer before it poses a risk: without breast compression, without contrast agent and without radiation.
On October 13, 2015 the "Technology Region Karlsruhe" awarded the NEO 2015 prize with €20,000 to the 3D Ultrasound Computertomography (3D-USCT) project of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).
