Brief Summary

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

This clinical trial studies the use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in estimating tissue pressure in patients with breast cancer. Diagnostic procedures, such as CEUS, may help estimate tissue pressure noninvasively.

Detailed Description

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

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To determine if the 3-dimensional (3D) subharmonic aided pressure estimation (SHAPE) results can be used to estimate interstitial fluid pressures (IFPs) in breast tumor and its surrounding tissue.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To determine if the malignancy of breast tumor can be predicted by the 3D SHAPE results.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo ultrasound without contrast. Patients then receive perflutren lipid microspheres (Definity) intravenously (IV) over 15 minutes and undergo CEUS.
