Overview
A research study to find out if an investigational mammography machine is effective in producing high-quality images using a lower radiation dose than traditional mammography.
Detailed description
Prospective, single-arm, non-blinded, comparative/observational study.
Phase 1: Verify operation of monochromatic system and optimize the monochromatic energies and exposure times for a range of breast thicknesses.
Phase 2: Test the performance of the monochromatic system in comparison to traditional 2-D mammography for a range of clinical/imaging scenarios.
Phase 3: Test the performance of the monochromatic system using reduced breast compression.
Interventions
- Device 2-D Monochromatic X-ray Mammography System
Monochromatic x-ray mammography system produces superior images as compared to conventional 2-D and 3-D mammography while using a lower radiation dose.
Primary outcome measures
- Noninferiority of a 2-D monochromatic X-ray mammography system compared to conventional mammography [Time frame: Enrollment to end of visit 1 (or up to 7 days following visit 1, if needed)]
Secondary outcome measures (4)
- Relevant pathologies identified by monochromatic-based x-ray as compared to conventional mammography [Time frame: End of visit 1 (or up to 7 days following visit 1, if needed)]
- Lower breast compression with monochromatic-based x-ray mammography [Time frame: Enrollment to end of visit 1 (or up to 7 days following visit 1, if needed)]
- Quality of images produced by monochromatic-based x-ray mammography at lower radiation dose. [Time frame: Enrollment to end of visit 1 (or up to 7 days following visit 1, if needed)]
- Patient satisfaction with monochromatic x-ray mammography system [Time frame: Enrollment to end of visit 1 (or up to 7 days following visit 1, if needed)]
