Intervention Details:
    Other: breast imaging study

    1. A set of vibro-acoustography (VA) scans will be taken of the breast by an experimental vibro-acoustography device that uses ultrasound for imaging.

    2- An ultrasound scan (sonography) of the breast using a clinical ultrasound machine may be taken during the procedure.

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

  • To study in vivo detection of breast masses by vibro-acoustography (VA) imaging.
  • To evaluate the performance of VA imaging in differentiating between benign and malignant breast masses identified as BI-RADS 4 or 5.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo clinical mammography of the breast, followed by vibro-acoustography (VA) imaging using ultrasonography over 90 minutes. Patients may also undergo further imaging using clinical ultrasonography.
