  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Clinically indicated breast tumor biopsy
Subjects with breast lesion and are scheduled for clinically-indicated biopsy will have 3D Multimodal Ultrasound Imaging performed
2D B-mode, Doppler, and shear wave elastography images of the lesion
3D B-mode imaging, microvessel imaging, and shear wave elastography

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
BI-RADS Score
Time Frame: Baseline
BI-RADS scores will be obtained using 2D B-mode ultrasound images from the GE Logiq E10 clinical scanner, and using 3D B-mode images from the Verasonics scanner. A 7-point BI-RADS scale will be used, with a score of 1, 2, or 3 considered negative and 4a, 4b, 4c, and 5 considered positive.
