Study to try advanced ultrasound for breast imaging
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman age 18 or older.
- You have a finding seen on a mammogram or ultrasound, such as a cyst, mass, or calcifications (white spots).
- For the part using light plus ultrasound: you are not pregnant, you have no sores or rashes on the breast being studied, and you are not taking any medicines that make your skin sensitive to light.
- You are willing to undergo an advanced ultrasound exam of the breast.
- You do not have a history of a disease that makes your skin sensitive to light.

This study uses a special ultrasound technique (VisR) to look at the structure of breast tissue and collagen in women with suspicious or known breast cancer. The goal is to see if this imaging can help doctors better understand breast cancer without needing a biopsy.
This study tests a new type of ultrasound imaging called super-resolution ultrasound that creates very detailed pictures of breast cancer. Researchers will use it to track how well chemotherapy is working before surgery, which may help doctors plan better treatment.
This study uses a special light-based imaging scan to learn more about breast masses and how tumors may respond to chemotherapy before surgery. The scan is meant to help doctors better characterize tumors and potentially track treatment response.
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 uses special ultrasound imaging (and may use MRI results) to look for early signs of how locally advanced breast cancer responds to chemotherapy, with or without radiation. If the imaging changes early, it could help doctors adjust treatment sooner.
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.
