Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound Medical Imaging for Identifying Breast Masses (NCT06171607)

Characterizing Breast Masses Using an Integrative Framework of Machine Learning and Radiomics

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Phase1 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: University of Southern California

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This clinical trial investigates the role of contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in identifying cystic breast masses as benign or malignant. Ultrasound is a diagnostic imaging test that uses sound waves to make pictures of the body without using radiation (x-rays). Ultrasounds are widely used to diagnose many diseases in the body. This trial may help researchers learn if using CEUS will help in determining whether or not an ultrasound guided biopsy is necessary.
