ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a new type of MRI imaging called ZTE imaging to see if it can better show breast biopsy markers made from bone cement compared to traditional markers that are made from metal. These biopsy markers help doctors locate areas in the breast that need closer examination, especially in patients with breast cancer. The goal is to see if this new imaging technique can improve the accuracy of these markers, which could help with better treatment planning.

To participate in the study, individuals must be at least 18 years old. However, there are some specific conditions that would exclude someone from joining, such as having a pacemaker, certain types of metal implants, or if they are pregnant. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to involve people of all genders, specifically those who are between 65 and 74 years old. If eligible, participants can expect to undergo MRI scans using the new technique and will help researchers understand if it provides clearer images of the biopsy markers.
