Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound Scan for the Estimation of Tissue Pressure in Patients With Breast Cancer
Completed · Early Phase 1
Conditions studied: Breast Carcinoma
In brief
This clinical trial studies the use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in estimating tissue pressure in patients with breast cancer. Diagnostic procedures, such as CEUS, may help estimate tissue pressure noninvasively.
