The early detection of breast cancer has severely
improved during the past 20 years, but there is still
room for improvement like a better clarification of
indications without using ionizing radiation. The
evaluation of biopsy data showed that about 80% of women
diagnosed with cancer after the different types of
imaging do not have cancer. We target on improving this
high percentage by improving the specificity by
measuring the elasticity of lesions. Measurements on 10
volunteers with well known lesions provide an important
step towards seeing if ARC-MR is capable to improve the
specificity of standard breast cancer diagnostic.
