Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to investigate recent developments in ultrasound signal processing to determine if these new techniques can enhance the visibility of important features of interest in breast ultrasound images. Ultrasound signals obtained from both standard ultrasound imaging and ultrasound imaging combined with light (also known as photoacoustic imaging) will be investigated.
