Cancer and breast tissue have a very high electrical impedance ratio, so imaging based on impedance can produce high contrast. It is very useful for the early detection of breast cancer. Trans-admittance mammography (TAM) is a modality to detect breast cancer based on impedance. The weakness of TAM is that it can only produce a projection image so that the volume and ratio of cancer to breast tissue cannot be obtained at once. The ratio of anomaly and volume is very important to be determined properly because it is related to the stage and type of cancer. TAM shortcomings can be overcome if anomalous volume information is known precisely. The ultrasound reflection modality can produce information about an anomaly depth and volume correctly. Combining TAM and ultrasound reflection data is expected to provide promising results. The study was conducted to prove the hypothesis by creating a breast phantom composed of gelatin, agar, graphite, glycerol, and distilled water to represent the electrical and acoustic physical properties of cancer and breast tissue. The results showed that the TAM data was only able to produce information about transverse position accurately, while the depth was less accurate. Acoustic devices can produce transverse position information, depth, and volume precisely. The dual-modality of TAM and ultrasound reflection can produce information about the depth position, volume, and the ratio anomaly to reference conductivity accurately.
