Ultrasound Computed Tomography and Its Applications in the Imaging of Breast Tissue

Michael Maslakowski
Ultrasound Computed Tomography (UCT) provides a cheaper alternative to mammograms with zero-radiological exposure. UCT currently has faced two major problems in the past poor image processing algorithms and extremely long computation times. In this research a preliminary device was developed to image a single 2D slice of a breast phantom. As the system will be developed it will be given capability to take layered images to render an entire tomographic view of analyzed tissue.
