From: Feasibility study using multifocal Doppler twinkling artifacts to detect suspicious microcalcifications in ex vivo specimens of breast cancer on US

Figure 2

Mammographic and color-encoded US-multifocal Doppler twinkling artifact (MDTA) projection images of an invasive ductal carcinoma in a 64-year-old woman. (a) Specimen magnification mammographic image shows the malignancy as a mass with internal calcifications (arrow). Other diffuse calcifications at the right breast were assessed as benign. (b) Consensus-positive cells are shown on the specimen mammographic image (cells outlined in bold). These were marked by using a grid composed of 5-mm cells. (c) A color-encoded 2D projection image along the z-axis using the US-MDTA volume data showed a 100% detection rate for the consensus-positive cells.
