Multimodal Ultrasound Tomography

**Semantic type:** Diagnostic Procedure

**Definition:** A three-dimensional imaging technology that uses both a pulse ultrasound wave transmitted through each of the breast coronal sections and a wave scattered on the structure heterogeneities of these sections in numerous directions to obtain tomographic images of the breast. Acoustic attributes of each voxel, such as refractivity, frequency-dependent attenuation, and dispersion can be recorded and combined to yield automated lesion detection and differentiation.
