Abstract :
Ultrasound computer tomography (USCT) is an imaging method capable of producing volume images with sub-millimeter resolution and high image quality. The long term goal of the system under construction is 3D imaging for early breast cancer diagnosis. In this paper the first images of a clinical breast phantom are presented and discussed in respect to further modifications of our system
