Study Summary

This pilot trial studies how well photoacoustic imaging works in diagnosing changes in tumors in participants with breast cancer, sarcoma, skin cancer, or soft tissue malignancy and healthy volunteers. Photoacoustic imaging is a low-risk imaging method that provides information about the oxygenation of tissues using a combination of light and ultrasound techniques. Photoacoustic imaging uses a signal from hemoglobin to provide information on blood flow and oxygen levels, and it may be helpful in determining changes in tumors after chemotherapy or radiation treatment.

Primary Outcome

This will be deemed a success if at least 3 imaging sessions produce a usable image. Usable datasets will be defined as those images with detectable PAI signal with minimal or no artifacts within the region of interest. This analysis will be done in the imaged sample, consisting of enrolled patients who attempt at least one imaging session. Patients who do not attempt at least one imaging session will be replaced.
