Article Synopsis
- This study evaluates the effectiveness of a new high-resolution ultrasonic transmission tomography (HUTT) system in distinguishing between benign and malignant tissues in breast mastectomy specimens.
- Eight patients' mastectomy samples were analyzed using HUTT, which utilizes different frequency transducers to create detailed "multiband profiles" of tissue characteristics for classification.
- The results demonstrated promising accuracy rates for distinguishing between tissue types, with an average sensitivity of 81.9%, specificity of 92.9%, and overall accuracy around 89%, indicating the HUTT technology's potential for improving cancer diagnosis.
