3D Ultrasound Imaging for Breast Cancer Detection
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial is testing a new ultrasound method to better diagnose breast lumps by creating clearer and more detailed images.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications, but it does exclude those receiving cancer therapy like chemotherapy or radiation.
How does 3D ultrasound imaging differ from other breast cancer detection treatments?
3D ultrasound imaging, specifically the 3D automated breast ultrasound system (3D ABUS), is unique because it provides high-resolution images with a large field of view, addressing limitations of traditional hand-held ultrasounds. It is particularly beneficial for women with dense breast tissue, offering a non-ionizing alternative to mammography and improving detection rates when used alongside mammography.12345
