Automated Breast Ultrasound Screening — ABUS  

Breast Cancer Clinical Trial

Official title: Automated Breast Ultrasound Screening in Women With Dense Breasts (BIRADS 3 or 4) and BIRADS Category 1 or 2 Mammogram Assigning BIRADS 3 Lesions to Yearly Follow-up

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Women with dense breasts (BIRADS 3 or 4) with a BIRADS category 1 or 2 mammogram are asked to participate in a automated volume breast ultrasound scanner. The study evaluates prospectively the changes in recall rate, positive biopsy rate, cancer detection rate when BIRADS category 3 lesions are given a 1 year follow-up recommendation.

Clinical Trial Description

Women with dense breasts (BIRADS 3 or 4) with a BIRADS category 1 or 2 mammogram are asked to participate in a automated volume breast ultrasound scanner. If the women agrees to participate and sign informed consent she undergoes an automated whole breast scan. The scan is interpreted independent of the mammogram. Scans are assigned a BIRADS category score of 1, 2, 3,or 0. BIRADS category 3 lesions are reported as no evidence of malignancy and a 1 year follow-up is recommended. BIRADS category 0 lesions are requested to have a hand held ultrasound including elastography. Follow up is then determined by BIRADS score and elastography results of hand held ultrasound.

The study evaluates prospectively the changes in recall rate, positive biopsy rate, cancer detection rate when BIRADS category 3 lesions are given a 1 year follow-up recommendation. ;
