ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new type of ultrasound called 3D ultrasound imaging to help doctors better diagnose breast tumors. The goal is to see if this advanced imaging method can provide clearer and more accurate pictures of breast masses, which could help in making better treatment decisions.

The trial is open to adult women aged 18 and older who have a breast lesion and are already scheduled for a biopsy, which is a procedure to examine breast tissue. However, women who have had previous breast surgery, breast implants, or are currently pregnant, breastfeeding, or undergoing cancer treatment cannot participate. If you join the study, you can expect to undergo this new imaging technique along with your regular care, and your participation will contribute to important research that could improve breast cancer diagnosis in the future.
