Ultrasound with contrast to help spot breast lumps
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial uses a special ultrasound with a contrast agent to get clearer images of breast lumps. It may help doctors decide if a lump needs a biopsy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 or older.
- You have a new breast lump that was rated as BIRADS 4a, 4b, 4c, or 5 on a regular ultrasound and your doctor recommends a biopsy.
- You are not pregnant, possibly pregnant, or breastfeeding.
- You do not have any allergies to the contrast agent used in the ultrasound.
- You have not had a previous biopsy for this same lump.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new, detailed ultrasound technique that uses a contrast agent (called Definity) to get clearer images of a suspicious area before a biopsy. It may help doctors better see the blood flow in the lesion, which could improve diagnosis.
This trial tests a new way to combine radiation therapy with ultrasound and tiny bubbles to treat breast cancer that has spread to the chest wall or is advanced. It aims to make radiation more effective and safer.
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 whether special ultrasound pictures and “spectroscopy” measurements can help characterize breast masses that may be cancer. It may help doctors tell more about what a lump is and guide next steps.
This study tests whether a special type of mammogram (contrast-enhanced) can better spot cancer in people whose regular mammogram or ultrasound found a suspicious area. It may help avoid unnecessary biopsies.
This study uses focused ultrasound waves to create detailed images of breast tumors and deliver targeted treatment. It aims to improve how breast tumors are treated while minimizing damage to healthy tissue.
