Lower-dose breast CT for clearer breast imaging
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at a special breast CT scan done with a lower radiation dose to help produce clear breast images. You may be able to join if you are getting breast imaging or a biopsy for a possible breast issue and meet the safety and comfort requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are a woman aged 40 or older
- You are scheduled for breast imaging (screening or diagnostic) or a biopsy for an abnormality

- You are not pregnant, and you are not breastfeeding
- You can safely lie on your stomach (prone) for the scan and follow the study instructions

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether routine chest CT scans—imaging done for other reasons—can reliably find breast cancer. Researchers will compare chest CT results with mammograms and/or breast MRI to see if this approach could catch breast cancers earlier without extra imaging.
This study tests a new type of mammogram that might give clearer pictures of breast tissue. It is for women who are either scheduled for breast surgery or getting a regular mammogram.
This trial compares two imaging tests—CESM (a contrast-enhanced mammogram) and DBT (3D mammography)—to see which works best for women with dense breast tissue. It may help improve how early breast changes are found in dense breasts.
This study collects breast cancer imaging tests to build a teaching library. You can join if you are 18 or older and have had a breast imaging test in the US.
This study explores a new way to process ultrasound images of the breast. It is for women who have a finding, cyst, mass, or calcifications seen on a mammogram or ultrasound, and it uses a special ultrasound technique that may provide clearer images without extra radiation.
This study tests a plan meant to reduce how often people get a breast biopsy when the abnormality looks suspicious but not highly worrisome. It may help more people avoid unnecessary procedures while still keeping close medical follow-up.
