We have crafted an advanced breast imager, like the most splendid and majestic of vessels. Now, our journey of discovery and progress has begun towards the ultimate destination - to benefit the patient.

Photoacoustic-ultrasound breast tomography: Towards Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy monitoring

We have developed a photoacoustic-ultrasound breast imager, which defines the state-of-the-art in the field. This imager allow us visualize breast vasculature as also potentially blood oxygenation saturation. Further, we are able to delineate breast tumors based on ultrasound transmission properties. It is expected that tumor vascularization, oxygen saturation and tumor mass are suitable properties for response evaluation in neo-adjuvant-chemotherapy (NAC). We report on the the foundation we have laid so far, the steps we are taking and the outlook towards the use of our method for the evaluation of NAC.

Biography

Srirang Manohar has pioneered research into photoacoustic imaging of breast cancer. He also investigates the feasibility of the method hybrid with ultrasound imaging in image guidance of Radiofrequency Ablation, imaging ulcers in the diabetic foot, and imaging of thyroid nodules. The scope of his research spans technology development to early clinical assessment.
