The advantage of Microwave-Induced Thermoacoustic Tomography (MI-TAT) hybrid modality is its ability to take advantage of the microwave absorption coefficients which provide high contrast across soft tissues and materials. This in combination with the superior spatial resolution of ultrasound waves is important in providing a low-cost alternative to MRI and early breast cancer detection methods as well as high resolution and contrast for Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE).
