Vibro-acoustography has gained interest in the recent years as a new modality for medical imaging. This method is based on low-frequency vibrations induced in the object by the radiation force of ultrasound. This paper focuses on potential applications of vibro-acoustography in breast imaging, including detection of microcalcifications, detection of arterial calcifications, and soft tissue imaging. In addition, we will briefly discuss our recent results of in vivo breast vibro-acoustography. Future developments and potential impact of vibro-acoustography in breast imaging are also discussed.
近年来,振动声学成像作为一种新的医学成像方式受到了关注。这种方法基于超声辐射力在物体中引起的低频振动。本文重点关注振动声学成像在乳腺成像中的潜在应用,包括微钙化的检测、动脉钙化的检测以及软组织成像。此外,我们将简要讨论我们最近的活体乳腺振动声学成像结果。还讨论了振动声学成像在乳腺成像中的未来发展和潜在影响。
