Currently, colonoscopy is considered the gold standard procedure for diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC), the third most common cancer in the United States. However, this technique fails to detect flat adenomas, serrated polyps and advanced adenomas, with miss rates of 34%, 27% and 14%, respectively. These miss rates, more frequent than previously supposed, suggest the need for new CRC screening tools. In the work described here, the potential application of a 40-MHz ultrasound system to generate a sequence of 2-D endoluminal ultrasound biomicroscopy (eUBM-2-D) images of a mouse model of colon cancer was investigated, and this image sequence was used to render eUBM-3-D images and to measure tumor volume. The technique was validated with tissue-mimicking phantoms and used in vivo with mice bearing colon polypoid tumors. Estimated volumes ranged from 0.174-7.909 mm3 for targets in validation phantoms and from 0.066-6.082 mm3 for mouse colon tumors.
