Figure 1: Examples of breast deformation of MRI and comparison of visibilities of blood vessels between PAI and MRI using maximum intensity projection (MIP) images on the healthy breast.

From: Visualization of tumor-related blood vessels in human breast by photoacoustic imaging system with a hemispherical detector array

Figure 1

Case 1 (Fig. 1(a–c)): (a) PA image, (b) MR image deformed to correspond to the PA image, and (c) fusion image of PA (cyan) and MR (red). Case 2 (Fig. 1(d–f)): (d) PA image, (e) MR image deformed to correspond to the PA image, and (f) fusion image of PA (cyan) and MR (red). All images are coronal views. In Fig. 1(a), (b), (d) and (e), we colored the signals according to the depth using the color chart shown in Fig. 1(g). This color chart for depth information is also used in Figs 2, 4 and 5.
