Breast imaging with photoacoustic mammoscope. Photoacoustic images were overlaid on X-ray mammograms to show lesions detected on both modalities. Reconstructed 3-dimensional (3D) photoacoustic volume encompassing each lesion of interest is also shown here. Infiltrating ductal carcinoma (IDC) lesion was seen on X-ray and photoacoustic imaging in a 79-yearold patient (A-C) and a 69-year-old patient (D-F), respectively. Mucinous carcinoma (MC) was detected in an 83-year-old patient (G-I) while infiltrating lobular carcinoma (ILC) was seen in a 65-year-old patient (J-L). The lesions were co-localized on photoacoustic images with respect to X-ray mammograms and were visualized at depths of more than 20 mm with good contrast on photoacoustic images.
