Abstract
Ultrasound (US) and optoacoustic (OA) imaging provide complementary information for quantitative analysis of the tumor microenvironment. Herein, we demonstrate the unique capabilities of transmission-reflection optoacoustic ultrasound (TROPUS) for characterizing breast cancer in tumor-bearing mice. For this, 4 different mice featuring orthotopic tumor of different sizes were scanned with a full-ring ultrasound transducer array to simultaneously render pulse-echo US images, speed of sound (SoS) maps and OA images. The tumor size, vascular density and its elastic parameters were further quantified in the images. Our results pave the way toward clinical translation of the hybrid TROPUS imaging for tumor detection and characterization.
