Innovative Breast Cancer Early Detection: 3D-USCT

Realize what matters

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.
