Ultrasonography Clinical Trial
Official title:
Detection of Breast Lesions by Automatic Breast US (Comparison to Current Hand Held US and Pathological Findings When Exist).
Mammography is considered the standard imaging method for breast cancer screening, and is
known to result in reduced mortality from breast cancer. However, the diagnostic yield of
mammography depends particularly on breast tissue density, with sensitivity as low as 30-48%
in dense-breast women. Ultrasound is an attractive adjunct imaging method to mammography as
it is widely accessible, relatively inexpensive and well-tolerated by patients. The addition
of hand-held ultrasound to mammography has been demonstrated to significantly increase
breast cancer detection in women with dense breasts. It is however dependent on the
expertise and skill of the operator.
In recent years, the FDA has approved the use of the automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) for
use in screening of women with dense breast. Unlike handheld ultrasound, the ABUS is
relatively simple to use, necessitating less technical training, and results in higher
reproducibility.
The research aim is to evaluation of automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) regarding the
detection and classification of breast lesions, compared to hand-held ultrasound, according
to the American College of Radiology Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS)
classification. The investigator will also evaluate parameters regarding patients' comfort,
workflow, and duration of image interpretation.
ABUS produces a 3D volume acquisition using a 6-15 Mega Herz reverse curve transducer.
Images are digitally reformatted on a dedicated workstation to produce axial, sagittal and
coronal reformatted images. Unlike handheld ultrasound, the ABUS is relatively simple to
use, necessitating less technical training, and results in higher reproducibility. Previous
studies have shown that automated breast ultrasound is very well tolerated by patients can
be useful in detection of solid and cystic lesions and in evaluating tumor extent
preoperatively.
Automated breast ultrasound will be performed on the "Invenia ABUS" (Automated Breast
Ultrasound System) designed for automated breast imaging by General Electric (GE)
Healthcare. Images will be acquired using a 15 centimeter field-of-view reverse curve
ultra-broadband transducer of 6-15 Mega Herz. Using mechanical compression assist, the
transducer is placed on each breast and six volumes are acquired with six sweeps (right
anterior-posterior, right lateral, right medial; left anterior-posterior, left lateral, left
medial). Acquisition time expected 15 minutes per patient, approximately 30-40 second
acquisition per volume.
ABUS examinations will be performed by the investigators institution's radiographers, with
variable degrees of experience in performing hand-held breast ultrasound examinations
(HHUS).
Reformatted images and volumes will be view on a designated workstation of 2 megapixel high
resolution monitor, using customized hanging protocols, multi-slice 3D viewing and patented
clinical algorithms. Interpretation of images will be done by our institution's breast
imaging radiologists with more than 15 years of experience in performing and reading
hand-held breast ultrasound studies.
Each breast will be assigned a final ABUS BI-RADS score according to the American College of
Radiology classification ranging from 1 to 6. A discrepancy between the ABUS Breast
Imaging-Reporting and Data System score and the hand-held ultrasound BI-RADS score (HHUS
BI-RADS 1-2 & ABUS BI-RADS >2, or HHUS BI-RADS >3 & ABUS BI-RADS 1-2) will result in the
referral of the woman to second-look hand-held ultrasound to determine the reason for the
mismatch.
