Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a wearable breast ultrasound device that they say can make way for earlier breast cancer detection.
The device can image as deep as 15 cm into breast tissue and can image the entire breast from two or three locations, according to research published by the MIT team in Advanced Healthcare Materials. The team described the technology as an end-to-end system ultrasound architecture consisting of a novel sparse array geometry and a codesigned data acquisition system.
