Study of a new 3D breast CT scan for women 40+
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new upright, low-dose 3D breast CT scanner to see if it works well for breast cancer screening and diagnosis. If you are a woman 40 or older, this study may offer a more comfortable and detailed scan than standard mammography.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 40 or older.
- You have not had any breast symptoms (for the screening part) or you have a suspicious finding needing a biopsy (for the diagnostic part).
- You are scheduled for or have had a standard 2-view digital breast tomosynthesis (3D mammogram).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You can sit upright without physical limitations.
- You have not had prior radiation to the chest or too many X-rays for other conditions.

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 is testing a new high-resolution 3D mammogram machine. It is for women getting routine screening who do not have any breast symptoms or concerns.
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.
This trial is testing a new 3D imaging technology during a routine CT scan. It may help improve how doctors see and plan for your care, and it does not require any extra procedures or dyes.
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.
