Microcalcifications in breast tissue phantoms visualized with acoustic resonance coupled with power Doppler US: initial observations.
Calcium carbonate particles embedded in gelatin and turkey breast tissues were visualized with acoustic resonance imaging and power Doppler ultrasonography. Sonography revealed that the region of color level detection corresponded to the location of the calcium carbonate particles. Correlation between color level detection and the location of the particles was confirmed on radiographs of the specimens obtained at core needle biopsy performed through the region of color level detection.
