SoftVue Research Tops Journal of Breast Imaging Most Read List

May 12, 2022

It is a proud moment for Delphinus and our amazing research team who contributed to the publication – The Fat-glandular Interface and Breast Tumor Locations: Appearances on Ultrasound Tomography Are Supported by Quantitative Peritumoral Analyses

The Journal of Breast Imaging has listed this article as one of their topmost read, clicked on and cited publications of 2021. The article was originally published in the Journal of Breast Imaging, Volume 3, Issue 4, July/August 2021, Pages 455–464 and is linked above for you to review.

Congratulations Neb Duric, Ph.D., Peter Littrup, M.D., Mark Sak, Ph.D. Cuiping Li, Ph.D, Olivier Roy, Ph.D, Rachel Brem, M.D. and Mary Yamashita, M.D. for their amazing accomplishment and dedication to research to further the positive impact SoftVue 3D Whole Breast Ultrasound Tomography has on the breast imaging industry.

Highlights of the research:

• The majority of breast cancers (95%) are located at the circumferential fat-glandular interface (FGI), a high-contrast structure by sound speed (SS) in the coronal plane.
• Tissue locations for cysts also suggest they are more likely (64%) to be surrounded by fibroglandular tissue, while fibroadenomas are intermediate in location at the FGI (63%) and surrounded by fibroglandular tissue (35%).
• Location of masses relative to the fat-glandular interface may be useful to incorporate in computer-aided US diagnostics for screening in women with dense breasts.
