The Multimodal Ultrasound Breast Imaging System (MUBI) is a joint development of the Spanish National Research Council (CISC) and the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM). It is intended to be a flexible platform for multi-modal ultrasound imaging research, mainly oriented to breast diagnosis. Up to now, the following imaging techniques have been implemented: Phased-Array full angle spatial...

Ultrasound is gaining interest as a modality to scan for tumors in dense breasts of young women. Tissue characterisation by full wave form inversion (FWI) has the potential to improve the accuracy of breast ultrasound. However, many of the existing systems use frequencies above 1 MHz. With these high frequencies it is difficult to apply FWI due to the computational costs involved....

The high complementarity of the optoacoustic (OA) and pulse-echo ultrasound (US) modalities makes the combined usage of these imaging technologies highly advantageous. Yet, due to the different physical contrast mechanisms, the development of detection technology optimally suited for image acquisition in both modalities remains a major challenge. Here we demonstrate a multi-segment detector...
