Better ultrasound visibility of breast biopsy marker clips
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a special ultrasound technique (called 'twinkling artifact') can make the marker clip show up better on ultrasound, helping doctors find the clip more easily during surgery. If you've had a clip placed, your stored ultrasound images might be used for this research.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 or older.
- You had a breast biopsy with a small marker clip placed in the breast tissue.
- You had breast ultrasound images taken with a GE-10 or Siemens machine before surgery.
- The marker clip's position was verified by mammogram, surgical specimen, or same-day ultrasound.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have not had breast cancer or surgery on the same breast before.

This study tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) system can better find the small markers placed during breast biopsies using ultrasound images. It may help improve how these markers are detected in the future.
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 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 uses ultrasound to monitor a small clip placed in a lymph node affected by breast cancer to see how well it responds to chemotherapy before surgery. It might help predict if the cancer is gone from the lymph nodes without needing extra surgery.
This study looks at the safety and usefulness of placing a marker at the biopsy site in women with invasive breast cancer before surgery. It may help ensure the right area is removed during surgery.
This trial tests a device called OneMark that helps doctors find and track breast cancer during surgery and follow-up. It may help make sure the cancer is removed completely.
