Summary

The purpose of this study is to train Nigerian radiologists to perform ultrasound-guided breast biopsies. Researchers will use mHealth devices to create a sustainable and practical way of training radiologists in Nigeria to perform and clinically implement US-guided breast biopsies into their practice.

Conditions

• Breast Cancer
• Breast Cancer Female

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	mHealth US-breast biopsy	During this study, women will undergo an US-guided breast biopsy by a radiologist instead of what is typically performed in Nigerian hospitals, which is either a blind biopsy or surgical excision. US-guided breast biopsy is the standard of care in the United States of America because the accuracy is better than blind biopsy and equal to surgical excision.
