Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary aim of this pilot study is to define the role of dedicated cone beam breast computed tomography in breast cancer imaging. This research is a prelude of a more comprehensive clinical trial that may follow.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group I Microcalcifications

After classification as BI-RADS 4/5, approximately 75 to 100 subjects with primary findings based on microcalcifications will be recruited to have a breast CT scan.

Intervention Type RADIATION

Subjects will undergo cone beam breast CT scan

Group II Soft tissue findings

After classification as BI-RADS 4/5, approximately 75 to 100 subjects with primary soft tissue findings, with or without associated microcalcifications, will be recruited to have a breast CT scan.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* All women, age 40 or older, who are scheduled for biopsy after classification as BI-RADS 4/5 and have had a screening or diagnostic full-field digital mammography (FFDM) exam are eligible to participate, except for exclusions noted below.

Exclusion Criteria

* Males
* Women less than 40 years old

* Women who are unable to tolerate study constraints, frail or unable to cooperate
* Women with large breasts that cannot be accommodated within the field of view of the CT system
* Women who have received radiation treatments to the thorax for malignant and nonmalignant conditions, such as (but not limited to)

* Treatment for enlarged thymus gland as an infant
* Irradiation for benign breast conditions, including breast inflammation after giving birth
