AutoDACI System

About the Project

Project Overview:

AutoDACI is an imaging system that uses a new imaging technology made possible by Dr. Rodney Herring, a researcher at the University of Victoria. By using the system, a virtual source is placed in human tissue, emitting sound waves in every direction from the location of the virtual source. By doing this, an ultrasound probe can be used to detect the sound waves coming in, which carry great detail of what the tissue environment is like inside. This can be used to detect cancerous tumours and the vascularization around them non-invasively.

​

Our project is focusing on using this technology to automate the process of breast cancer screening, by making it safer, more accurate, and most importantly, non-invasive.
