The potential for Hall effect breast imaging.

Hall effect imaging is a noninvasive imaging method that combines ultrasound with a strong magnetic field to investigate the electrical properties of tissue. Although technical development is at an early stage, its value for detecting or characterizing pathologies in the breast and other organs is promising. In vitro studies in the past showed that tissue electrical properties are closely related to its physiology and morphology. Hall effect imaging may become a new tool to study these electrical properties in the body and potentially provide unique diagnostic information.
