Ultrasound tomography (UST) is an emerging whole breast 3D imaging technique that obtains quantitative tomograms of speed of sound (as well as other properties) of the entire breast. The measured parameter is the volume averaged speed of sound (VASS) [ 1 , 2 ]. It improves on mammography by measuring density at each voxel and holds promise as a cheap, patient-acceptable, non-ionising radiation method to evaluate density. This study was to evaluate the technique of UST and compare VASS with percentage water density from non-contrast MRI.
