Improving visibility of breast marker clips on ultrasound
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at how a special ultrasound technique can help doctors better see tiny metal clips placed in the breast to mark areas needing surgery. If you had a clip placed to mark a suspicious breast lesion, this research could help improve how doctors locate it before surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 or older
- You have a suspicious breast lesion (abnormal area) found on ultrasound
- You had a small metal marker clip successfully placed in your breast to mark the lesion
- You are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have not had previous breast cancer or breast surgery on the same side

This trial uses ultrasound to see if an AI tool can better find small markers placed in the breast during a biopsy. It might help improve follow-up care and make future procedures more precise.
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 trial compares two techniques for pinpointing non-touchable breast cancer during breast-conserving surgery. The study aims to see which method is more accurate and whether it leads to better surgical outcomes.
This study tests a new magnetic tracking method to help surgeons precisely locate breast tumors before surgery. It may help improve the accuracy of breast-conserving 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.
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.
