Details and patient eligibility

About

The investigators will study the financial, time, and psychologic benefit of Contrast Enhanced Mammography (CEM) compared with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for breast cancer evaluation and ultimately encourage practices and referring providers to use it more routinely in practice.

Specific research objectives are to:

• determine financial costs of performing a CEM to breast MRI
• compare time costs involved with CEM to breast MRI
• compare psychologic costs involved with CEM to breast MRI.

Sex: Female

Ages: 30+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Age > or equal to 30 years
• Clinically eligible for CEM or breast MRI
• Newly diagnosed cancer

Exclusion criteria

• Pregnant as verified by patient report. Given that this test is being performed for clinical purposes, the determination of pregnancy status will be resolved via the standard clinical pathway.

Trial design

Experimental group

Description:

Participants with a newly diagnosed breast cancer and recommended for enhanced imaging will be randomly assigned to either CEM or MRI and take the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) before and after imaging.

Treatment:

Other: State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)

Consent only for the STAI

Active Comparator group

Description:

Participants with a newly diagnosed breast cancer and recommended for enhanced imaging but who cannot or choose not to be randomly assigned to CEM or MRI but they consent to take the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) before and after imaging.
