About this study

Official title: 2D Silicon Transducer-Compression Plates for Breast Ultrasound

The study purpose is to help in the developement of 3 dimensional breast ultrasound imaging.

Read the detailed description

To assist in the developement of 3 dimensional breast ultrasound imaging and when possible compare the ultrasound results with 3D mammography (digital tomosynthesis mammography)or clinical mammography and ultrasound. Hopefully that this new, 3D ultrasound imaging can provide important information not found on mammograms or routine breast ultrasound.

Being tested
Experimental 3D Breast Ultrasound imaging, Experimental Photoacoustic Imaging
Medical subject headings
Breast Neoplasms, Breast Cyst

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Experimental 3D Breast Ultrasound imagingProcedure or surgery

    Subjects will be seated and have the indicated breast positioned in the 3D breast ultrasound imaging device. An ultrasound gel will be applied to the breast by the technician. The breast will be gently compressed between the ultrasound plates to facilitate the 3D (dimensional)breast imaging. This imaging session will take approximately 30 minutes to complete.

  • Experimental Photoacoustic ImagingProcedure or surgery

    Also called Photoacoustic Tomography (PAT)

    Subjects will be placed in a seated position for the photoacoustic tomography(PAT) imaging. The subjects will be given a laser protective mask to wear. Each subject will be instructed how to wear this mask(goggles) to protect their eyes during the imaging session. Pulse monitor leads may be placed on their chest to allow the computer to record the images of blood flow in the breast. The breast will be placed on the laser device platform and positioned so that the laser beam is appropriately directed to the targeted area of the breast. During the imaging the temperature of the skin under laser light, will be checked often with a thermometer to make sure that the skin is not getting too hot. This laser based imaging scan will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Experimental 3D Breast Ultrasound imaging and Experimental Photoacoustic Imaging in people with Breast Tumor and Breast Cysts, run by University of Michigan at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 May 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To prove the significance/capability of 3D Ultrasound imaging in comparison to current mammographic imaging. (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 May 2016.
