Non-Destructive 3D Imaging of Excised Breast Tissue.
MamoScope is an X-ray-based imaging and decision-support platform designed to create volumetric and three-axis sectional images of excised breast tissue during surgery, providing additional information for surgical margin assessment.
Complementary to Pathology
MamoScope is positioned as a non-destructive imaging and AI-assisted decision-support technology that complements established pathological examination rather than replacing it.
More Information While the Operation Is Still in Progress
Final pathology may require an extended laboratory workflow. During breast-conserving surgery, clinicians need additional information about whether the excised tissue margins appear clear before the operation is completed.
MamoScope was developed to image the intact excised specimen in three dimensions and support the surgical team with a digital, reviewable dataset during the intraoperative period.
Designed Contribution
From Excised Tissue to Three-Dimensional Review
The platform integrates acquisition, reconstruction and analysis within a single imaging workflow.
Specimen Placement
The surgically excised tissue is positioned for non-destructive imaging without sectioning it for the scan.
360° Acquisition
X-ray projection images are collected around the specimen through a full rotational scan.
3D Reconstruction
Projection data are reconstructed into axial, sagittal and coronal sections and a volumetric dataset.
Clinical Review Support
The reconstructed dataset and AI-assisted outputs provide additional information for margin assessment.
The supplied project materials describe an imaging objective of approximately 10 minutes; actual workflow time depends on specimen and scan configuration.
A Specialized 3D Imaging Architecture
MamoScope applies OpTomo's broader imaging-center competencies to the demanding requirements of breast-tissue imaging.
Up to 3200 Projections
Dense projection acquisition for detailed reconstruction workflows.
Three Orthogonal Axes
Axial, sagittal and coronal sectional review of the reconstructed specimen.
Volumetric Visualization
Three-dimensional reconstruction for whole-specimen spatial interpretation.
Multi-Format Digital Outputs
Section images, volumetric files, videos and analysis outputs for review and archiving.
Developed from Long-Term Research in 3D Imaging
MamoScope was developed by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Adem Polat, whose research includes 3D image reconstruction for digital breast tomosynthesis and CT, microscale biological imaging and optical tomography.
The platform builds on internationally conducted academic work at Harvard Medical School, Harvard-MIT HST, University of Lisbon, İTÜ and ÇOMÜ; TÜBİTAK and TÜSEB-supported projects, scientific publications and an intellectual-property portfolio in three-dimensional imaging systems.
