Abstract
Our 3D ultrasound computer tomograph (USCT) is an device method aimed at early breast cancer diagnosis. It is capable of producing images with sub-millimeter resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio. This method is universally useable for the 3D analysis of sufficient small bodies similar to the size of a breast, which may be immersed in a liquid coupling medium. In this paper, an overview of the developed method and the first results for static test examples (phantoms) and the perspective of our 3D-USCT at Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe are presented.
