Transvaginal Ultrasound and Photoacoustic Imaging of Ovary
Sponsor: Washington University School of Medicine
Summary
This study is being conducted to validate if photoacoustic imaging potentially reduces benign surgeries without compromising cancer detection sensitivity. The study will also explore whether using the photoacoustic imaging/ultrasound technique has any potential with early ovarian cancer detection in a group of high risk patients.
