Approximately 600,000 people were expected to die in 2018 due to breast cancer. Since most people get diagnosed for breast cancer in its late stages, being able to detect cancer early on can lead to proper treatment to prolong life. A low-cost near-infrared supercontinuum photoacoustic microscopy system is currently being developed to aid in this detection. Imaging phantoms with a nanoparticle solution inside them have shown promising results for early detection.
