New breast imaging test for earlier cancer detection
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a new upright 3D breast CT scanner that aims to find breast cancer earlier and more comfortably. It uses a very low dose of radiation and may help avoid unnecessary biopsies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 40 or older.
- You have no breast symptoms (like a lump or pain) and are scheduled for a standard screening mammogram, OR you have been told your mammogram is suspicious (BI-RADS 4 or 5) and you are scheduled for a biopsy.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have no physical limitations that would make it hard to sit upright for the scan (for example, severe curvature of the spine).
- You have not had radiation therapy to the chest area.
- You have not had many x-rays for conditions like tuberculosis or severe scoliosis in the past.

This study is testing a new ultrasound device (ATUSA) to see how well it can image breast lesions that have been classified as suspicious (BI-RADS 4 or 5). If you have a recent finding that needs further evaluation, this research might help improve detection methods.
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 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.
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 trial tests a new high-resolution breast imaging system during routine screening. It aims to see if the images are clear and accurate for women without breast symptoms.
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.
