Evaluation of thin compression paddles for mammographically compatible ultrasound

We are developing a combined digital mammography/3D ultrasound system for breast cancer imaging to better detect and/or characterize breast lesions. Scanning a GE Logiq 9 M12L transducer array over a mammographic compression paddle/plate introduces an attenuating layer with sound speed and impedance...
