Study to Compare Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound, Contrast-Enhanced Dual Energy Mammography, and Contrast-Enhanced Breast MR for Early Breast Cancer Detection
Overview
Tab Title Description
Study type
InterventionalDescribes the nature of a clinical study. Types include:
- Observational study — observes people and measures outcomes without affecting results.
- Interventional study (clinical trial) — studies new tests, treatments, drugs, surgical procedures or devices.
- Medical records research — uses historical information collected from medical records of large groups of people to study how diseases progress and which treatments and surgeries work best.

About this study
The purpose of this study is to determine whether contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can be used in diagnostic evaluation of breast lesions that cannot be seen using contrast-enhanced MRI (CEMR) and contrast- enhanced dual energy mammography (CEDM). If so, patients can undergo US guided biopsy which is more comfortable for patients and more cost effective.
Participation eligibility
Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

- Patients, greater than 30 years of age.
- In good general health as evidenced by medical history.
- BIRADS 4 or 5 suspicious breast lesions who are scheduled for breast biopsy.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients who are less than 30 years of age.
- Have known or suspected cardiac shunts.
