Abstract: Hybrid Magnetoacoustic Method (HMM) is a newly developed hybrid method that manipulates the interaction between ultrasound wave and magnetic field to map the acoustic and electric properties of tissue. The acoustic parameter that is measured and analyzed by HMM is Frequency Dependant Ultrasound Attenuation (FDUA) whilst the electric parameter is tissue conductivity. This present paper reports the result of measurement and analysis of Frequency Dependant Ultrasound Attenuation (FDUA) in discriminating normal and cancerous breast tissue. A total of 19 normal and cancerous mice breast tissue samples were studied by using a 10MHz ultrasound wave in transmission mode from the signal that is captured and recorded by the HMM system. The result of the FDUA measurement shows that cancerous tissues attenuate more ultrasound compared to normal tissue. Our finding in this study is also supported by previous research that measures FDUA in normal and cancerous human breast tiss!
ue. This result supports the theory that attenuation is low in tissue with high proportion of cells and increasing with collagen content.
Keywords: Hybrid magnetoacoustic, 1D ultrasound, attenuation, normal and cancerous, breast tissue.
