Contrast-Enhanced Cone Beam Breast CT for Diagnostic Breast Imaging

March 14, 2023 updated by: Koning Corporation
Up to one hundred (100) female patients will be enrolled and consented to participate in the study. These women will be enrolled from screening assigned BIRADS 0, patient complaint, or referral for second opinion. The enrolled patient will accept CE-CBBCT scans within 4 weeks of her diagnostic mammography and before breast biopsy if biopsy is needed. The final diagnostic workup outcome of these enrolled patients needs to include at least 30 confirmed cancers cases.

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
  • Allocation: N/A
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Diagnostic Workup
The subjects will first have a pre-contrast CBBCT scan. Iodinated contrast will be injected intravenously, and then another CBBCT scans will be performed to capture the tumor vasculature enhancement.
  • Pre-contrast scan
  • Begin contrast injection (and saline chaser)
  • Post-contrast Scan. Start time of post-contrast CE-CBBCT scan is 90-200 seconds after start of injection, depending on method of contrast delivery (bolus vs hand injection)
1.5-2ml/kg body weight (100 ml maximum) of a low osmolar, nonionic, 300-350 mgI/ml iodinated contrast agent, will be injected at a rate of ~2.0 ml/s, for a total injection time of 30-60 seconds (for a 50 kg subject). This will be immediately followed by a saline "chaser" from 20 to 40 ml at ~2 ml/s (20 seconds) to maximize dynamic enhancement.
