This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing theresources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject andinvestigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source,and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed isfor the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator.The project aims to provide preliminary data in support of an NIH grant to be submitted in June 2007. The goal of the grant is to develop a dual-energy, contrast-enhanced tomosynthesis imaging technique for early detection of breast cancer. The grant, if funded, includes pilot small animal imaging aims, but the focus in primarily on human applications using a dedicated breast tomosynthesis system. The trial aims to provide proof of concept for the grant to show that breast tumors do enhance with this technique.The grant was not funded, but work on this project did lead to proof of principle.
