Du 等人的一项突破性研究。开发了一种可穿戴超声成像贴片，用于标准化和可重复的乳腺组织成像。该技术利用蜂窝贴片设计来促进超声阵列的引导移动，从而实现全面的多角度乳腺成像。该系统经过单个人类受试者的体外和体内验证，具有用于早期乳腺癌检测的潜力。这项研究解决了可穿戴超声技术目前的局限性，包括对大型曲线器官进行成像以及将优质压电材料集成到高性能超声阵列中。超声从床边向便携式和可穿戴设备的转变将为与大数据收集的集成铺平道路，例如基于人工智能（AI）的诊断和个性化超声图像生成，以实现快速、客观的测量。这一进步在乳腺癌的背景下尤其重要，因为早期诊断和评估药物治疗反应对于患者护理至关重要。© 2023 作者。约翰·威利出版的《分子肿瘤学》

A breakthrough study from Du et al. has developed a wearable, ultrasound imaging patch for standardized and reproducible breast tissue imaging. The technology utilizes a honeycomb patch design to facilitate guided movement of the ultrasound array, enabling comprehensive, multiangle breast imaging. The system was validated in vitro and in vivo with a single human subject and has the potential for early-stage breast cancer detection. This study addressed the current limitations of wearable ultrasound technologies, including imaging over large, curvilinear organs and integration of superior piezoelectric materials for high-performance ultrasound arrays. The transition of ultrasound from the bedside to portable and wearable devices will pave the way for integration with big data collection, such as artificial intelligence (AI)-based diagnosis and personalized ultrasonographic profile generation, for rapid and objective measurements. This advancement is especially important in the context of breast cancer, where early diagnosis and assessment of medical therapy responses are paramount to patient care.© 2023 The Authors.
