January 20, 2023 updated by: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
The purpose of this study is to determine whether ultrasound or Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) detects more cancers and to compare the types of cancers detected on ultrasound and DBT.

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Observational Models: Case-Only
  • Time Perspectives: Prospective

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
women scheduled for breast screening

Each patient will have the following:

  • Screening whole breast ultrasound
  • DBT (Full field digital mammography + tomosynthesis views in the CC and MLO projections). The only change in patient management will be the addition of digital breast tomosynthesis views in patients scheduled for FFDM alone. DBT is currently clinically approved and being offered on a voluntary basis to patients scheduled for FFDM.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
estimate the cancer detection rates
Time Frame: 2 years
The detection rate of each imaging test is defined as the proportion of patients who are positive on that imaging test who truly have the disease compared to the total number of women screened. A positive imaging test is defined as a test with a recommendation for biopsy (BI-RADS 4 or 5).
