Principle

This experiment shows a typical application of ultrasound in medical diagnostics. A benign tumour on a realistic breast dummy is which has to be diagnosed, localized and measured with an ultrasound cross-section imaging method.

Benefits

Ideal experiment for medical students in the preclinical phase: true-to-life breast cancer examinaton using a breast model
The echoscope used in the experiment can also be used for other medically relevant experiments like A-scan, B-scan and ultrasound tomography
Display of ultrasound image as for a diagnostic system

Tasks

Examine the breast dummy and search for any pathological changes. Try to characterize them as accurately as possible (size, location, mobility, strength of the change).
Produce an ultrasonic B-scan image of the breast dummy, especially in the regions of interest. Based on the ultrasound image, estimate the location and magnitude of the tumour.
