Latest Patents

Goh is associated with 1 patent, titled “System and a Method to Distinguish Between Benign and Malignant Breast Tumors.” The patent describes an ex vivo method and system for identifying the state of a tumor margin in a sample.

The system uses a probe to deliver pulsed laser light from a laser source to the sample. Arrays of transducing elements transmit and collect ultrasound signals, while another array collects photoacoustic signals. A data acquisition module converts these signals into ultrasound and photoacoustic images, respectively, to support examination of the sample.
