Study Summary
This study is being conducted to validate if photoacoustic imaging potentially reduces benign surgeries without compromising cancer detection sensitivity. The study will also explore whether using the photoacoustic imaging/ultrasound technique has any potential with early ovarian cancer detection in a group of high risk patients.
Primary Outcome
The anticipated improvement of diagnostic accuracy on reduction of surgeries of benign ovaries will be from current practice of AUC=55% to AUC=78%.
