Comparison of Conspicuity of Masses and Architectural Distortions Between Wide- and Narrow-angle Digital Breast Tomosynthesis Systems

April 28, 2026 updated by: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
To compare narrow-angle digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and wide-angle DBT.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Primary Objectives

- The primary objective of this proposed study is to show that bWBT (B.brilliant wide-angle breast tomosynthesis) images provide better lesion conspicuity for masses and architectural distortions than NBT images based on the standard screening tomosynthesis imaging.

Secondary Objectives

  • The secondary objective of this proposed study is to show that WBT images provide better lesion conspicuity for masses and architectural distortions based on the standard screening tomosynthesis imaging.
  • Additional secondary objectives include radiologist feedback on the B.brilliant images, technologist experience with B.brilliant, and a participant comfort survey.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT)
Participants that agree to take part in this study, your standard follow-up imaging will be done using an FDA approved DBT system, but it will be different from the DBT system used for your routine screening. For example, if narrow-angle DBT was used for your routine screening, then you will have standard wide-angle DBT. If wide-angle DBT used for your routine screening, then you will have narrow-angle DBT. These images will be used for diagnosis and to help decide your further care.
