A Comparison of Breast Tomosynthesis Mammography and Conventional Breast Imaging in the Characterization of Breast Masses

A Comparison of Breast Tomosynthesis Mammography and Conventional Breast Imaging in the Characterization of Breast Masses: A Pilot Study

• Status: Completed
• Phase: EARLY_Phase 1
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 136 (actual)
• Sponsor: Washington University School of Medicine · Academic / Other
• Sex: Female
• Age: 35 Years – 80 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare conventional breast imaging and diagnostic work-up (2 dimensional imaging) to digital breast tomosynthesis (3 dimensional imaging) in the appearance of non-calcified breast masses. It is thought that non-calcified breast masses will be better visualized with the new 3D technology.

Conditions

• Fibrocystic Disease of Breast
• Breast Cancer

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Digital Breast Tomosynthesis	Women with a positive screening mammogram called back for additional views will be asked to undergo an additional Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (3D mammogram) on the affected breast. Radiation dose is somewhat less than that of a screening mammogram.
