Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study parameter is a set of photoacoustic breast images from healthy breasts, breasts containing malignant lesions and breasts containing benign lesions. Photoacoustic images will be qualitatively described and compared to the outcomes of clinical investigation, conventional imaging and pathology. In stage 1A and 1B, we want to find photoacoustic markers indicative for malignant respectively benign lesions. The presence or absence of markers of malignancy will be evaluated in stage 1B. In both stages, photoacoustic appearance of healthy (contralateral) breasts will be investigated. | — |
