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

Completed · Early Phase 1

Conditions studied: Fibrocystic Disease of Breast, Breast Cancer

In brief

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.
