Pilot Study of Ultrasound and Photoacoustic Imaging for Assessing Treatment Response of Cervical Cancer Patients
The investigators have developed co-registered transvaginal photoacoustic and ultrasound (US)
imaging techniques that allow them to visualize ovarian tumor structure and functional
changes simultaneously, which may potentially reveal early tumor angiogenesis development or
residual tumors after systemic treatment that is not available by US alone. The ability to
detect early angiogenesis changes, as well as tumor morphology changes using a non-invasive
imaging modality will greatly enhance the care for patients. The investigators plan to
explore these techniques in monitoring cervical cancer treatment response and conduct pilot
feasibility studies.
