Pilot Study to Evaluate Photoacoustic Imaging for Characterizing Breast Masses and Breast Tumor Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy
Our objective in this pilot study will be to identify PA parameters that can distinguish benign vs. malignant lesions, and also, if PA parameters change with within breast tumors during chemotherapy treatment over time.
