Figure 4: Comparison of clinical findings between IBC and DCIS cases.

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

Figure 4

The following five questions (Q) were assessed. Q1: Are peritumoral PA vasculature signals present? Q2: Is there centripetal vasculature directed toward the tumor? Q3: Is vessel disruption or rapid narrowing present at the boundary of the tumor? Q4: Is a spotty signal present inside the tumor? Q5: Is a vascular-like linear signal present inside the tumor? A statistically significant difference between DCIS and IBC was denoted by an asterisk.
