First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 10, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study tested a new, high-speed 3D ultrasound method called acoustic angiography to improve imaging of breast and thyroid cancers. It planned to enroll 45 people, including healthy volunteers and patients scheduled for biopsies. The goal was to see if this technique could better identify cancerous lesions compared to standard ultrasound. However, the study was terminated early due to lack of funding, so results are limited.
