Breast Elasticity Imaging During Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

Harmonic motion imaging (HMI) is a non-invasive ultrasound elasticity imaging technique that yields a quantitative relative measurement of tissue stiffness suitable for comparisons between individuals and over time. This technique induces dynamic tissue vibrations internally for tissue elasticity characterization. Participants will be asked to lie down on their back, hold still with shallow breathing while pictures/images are taken of the breast where the tumor is located using an ultrasound without any invasive procedures.
