Exclusion criteria

  • Males

  • Women less than 40 years old

  • Pregnant women

  • Lactating women

  • Woman who have had bilateral mastectomies

  • Women with physical limitations that may prohibit resting prone on the exam table, such as, but not limited to: frozen shoulder, recent heart surgery, pace maker

  • Women who are unable to tolerate study constraints, frail or unable to cooperate

  • Women with large breasts that cannot be accommodated within the field of view of the CT system

  • Women who have received radiation treatments to the thorax for malignant and nonmalignant conditions, such as (but not limited to)

    • Treatment for enlarged thymus gland as an infant
    • Irradiation for benign breast conditions, including breast inflammation after giving birth
    • Treatment for Hodgkin's disease

    • Severe scoliosis

Trial design

150 participants in 2 patient groups

Group I Microcalcifications
Description:
After classification as BI-RADS 4/5, approximately 75 to 100 subjects with primary findings based on microcalcifications will be recruited to have a breast CT scan.
Group II Soft tissue findings
Description:
After classification as BI-RADS 4/5, approximately 75 to 100 subjects with primary soft tissue findings, with or without associated microcalcifications, will be recruited to have a breast CT scan.
Treatment:
Device: computed tomography (CT scan)
Device: computed tomography (CT scan)
