Brief Summary

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

The primary hypothesis to be tested is:

The detection of breast cancer will be increased with tomosynthesis (3D) imaging

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of this study is to determine if: 1 the detection of breast cancer will be increased with conventional (2D) imaging plus tomosynthesis (3D) imaging, or 2. if the the detection of breast cancer will be increased with tomosynthesis (3D) imaging alone.

Study Groups

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

Conventional + Tomosynthesis

conventional (2D) imaging plus tomosynthesis (3D) imaging first then tomosynthesis alone 1 month later.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Tomosynthesis

Intervention Type DEVICE

The mean glandular radiation dose for each image will be approximately 145 millirads (mrad) for a standard size breast (4.2 cm compressed breast thickness).
