Interventions
Patients will lay in prone position on the PAM3+ with one breast at a time in the aperture of the machine. The breast is supported by a plastic cup that holds the breast in place. The aperture/bowl is filled with water. During the measurement, infrared light will be emitted onto the breast. Infrared light will be absorpted by red blood cells which results in contrast compared to its surroundings and it will cause minuscule movements in the surrounding water. These movements will be detected by the ultrasound detectors. The movements and the absorption together will create a 3D image of the breast.
