Summary

This study tests a new imaging method called photoacoustic tomography that uses light and sound to get more detailed pictures of breast tissue. It aims to help find breast cancer in women with dense breasts, where standard mammograms may miss tumors. About 400 women with suspicious breast lumps or confirmed breast cancer, as well as healthy volunteers, will take part. The goal is to identify unique features of breast malignancies using this non-invasive technique.
