Clinical Utility of a Low-Cost Hand-Held Breast Scanner

Clinical Utility of a Low-Cost Hand-Held Breast Scanner

Early detection of breast cancer improves the survival rate and makes treatment less costly. This study would measure the accuracy a low-cost hand-held commercially viable device, iBE, for the detection of clinically relevant findings in the breast using the results of current mammography as a comparison. This research will have no impact on clinical decision making.
