Abstract
Aiming at a realization of effective and less invasive cancer screening tests and therapies using Au nanoparticles which tend to aggregate around cancer parts, the distributional region of Au nanoparticles within a scattering medium of agar was detected by applying an image reconstruction method of the ultrasonic velocity change imaging.
