Simulation of Magneto-Acousto-Electrical Tomography Based on Approximately Realistic Numerical Breast Model

Magneto-acousto-electrical tomography (MAET) is a multi-physics coupled imaging technology that combine high contrast advantage of tissue electromagnetic parameters with high resolution advantage of ultrasound. MAET holds great promise in the field of medical imaging, particularly in the early detection of breast cancer. This article presents MAET simulation based on a realistic digital breast model. Subsequently, we utilize B-scan imaging techniques to visualize the results. The findings clearly demonstrate MAET's ability to accurately depict the anatomical structure of breast glands. Although our model lacks malignancies and is relatively straightforward, this study serves as a crucial foundation for advancing magneto-acousto-electrical breast cancer screening techniques. Our goal is to make the simulation model as close as possible to real clinical scenarios and help promote the actual clinical application of MAET based breast cancer screening technology.
