DESCRIPTION:Medical imaging based on solving inverse problems is becoming 
 increasingly important in medical imaging as evidenced by the rise of tomo
 graphic techniques such as CT and MRI. Ultrasound tomography (UST) is a re
 latively new imaging modality that implements solutions of the acoustic wa
 ve equation to deliver 3D imaging of various tissue properties in support 
 of breast cancer imaging. An overview of the technique is presented in the
  context of clinical and regulatory requirements that impose constraints o
 n the mathematical approaches that can be used. Examples and analysis of c
 linical images are presented and compared to images not subject to such co
 nstraints. Results from clinical studies\, including a recently completed\
 , multi-center\, breast cancer screening trial\, are presented. Finally\, 
 the role of UST in future medical applications is discussed and opportunit
 ies for collaboration are presented.&nbsp\;\nVideo 1: Reconstruction of a
