Combined Digital X-ray and Ultrasound Technique for Improved Detection and Characterization of Breast Lesions

Combined Digital X-ray and Ultrasound Technique for Improved Detection and Characterization of Breast Lesions

The study will evaluate and refine a breast screening and diagnosis device.

The device produces 3-D mammograms and ultrasound pictures of the breast at the same time and in the same position. This should help make sure that any area on a mammogram can be easily found in the ultrasound when using the new device. The 3-D mammograms should provide better visualization of the suspected lesion and improve diagnostic accuracy.

Inclusion Criteria:

• To participate in this research study you must be a female over the age of 25
• Have had a normal mammogram or are scheduled for a breast biopsy
• Have cysts or have been recommended to have a 6 month follow up mammogram after your biopsy.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Male
• Under the age of 25
