Abstract:
Photoacoustic imaging combines the advantages of conventional optical imaging and ultrasound imaging with high spatial resolution and imaging contrast that can capture molecular information from macroscopic, mesoscopic and microscopic levels in real time and provide highly specific tissue images. Photoacoustic imaging has been successfully applied to the study of clinical diagnosis of breast cancer. It has significant advantages in early detection of breast cancer, benign and malignant diagnosis, identifying different pathological types and molecular subtypes of diagnosis, monitoring the effect of anti-cancer treatment and assessing tumor margins to guide surgery. Based on the published data of clinical researches, this review summarizes the advantages of photoacoustic imaging over conventional breast imaging modalities in breast cancer detection and the progress of clinical studies.
