Research Progress and Clinical Translation of Photoacoustic–Ultrasound Fusion Imaging in Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Therapy

Published in Advanced Ultrasound in Diagnosis and Therapy, 9(4), 467–482, 2025

This review surveys the principles, technical progress, and clinical applications of photoacoustic–ultrasound fusion imaging in breast cancer diagnosis and therapy. It highlights how multimodal imaging, radiomics, and AI can improve diagnostic specificity, subtype prediction, treatment monitoring, and the assessment of axillary lymph-node metastasis risk.

I see this work as part of a broader effort to connect multimodal sensing with clinically actionable AI systems in medical imaging.
