This video highlights a study on optoacoustic imaging, a new type of imaging that could improve breast cancer diagnosis by differentiating between benign and malignant breast masses.

In this video, Stephen Grobmyer, MD, of the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, discusses a study on optoacoustic imaging, a new type of imaging combining laser optics and ultrasound that could improve breast cancer diagnosis by differentiating between benign and malignant breast masses.

Grobmyer presented the study (abstract P5-02-04) at the 2017 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS).
