Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Part A aims at adapting and fine-tuning the fusion methods developed with breast phantoms. In part B, the adapted methods will be validated using imaging data of 15 patients with benign cysts. Target Registration Errors (TRE, displacement vectors) will be calculated and should not exceed two voxels of the corresponding spatial resolution on the DOT images. | — |
