Ultrasound is an imaging modality with broad applications for the characterization of soft tissue, including the breast. An electrical current is applied to piezoelectric crystals within a transducer, which in turn emit sound waves. These sound waves are transmitted through, and reflected off, tissues in a manner dictated by physical properties and interfaces. These reflected sound waves are carried back to the transducer, which translates them into a final image.
