Contrast-Enhanced Cone Beam Breast CT for Diagnostic Breast Imaging
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
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.

Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| 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. |
Radiation: Contrast Enhanced Cone Beam Breast CT Scan
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)
Drug: Contrast Dye, Iodinated
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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Breast lesions [Within 4 weeks after the imaging acquisition if finished if there is a suspicious finding in the images.]
The existence of lesions in the breast

Women who are unable to tolerate study constraints.
Women who have received radiation treatments to the thorax or breast area for malignant and nonmalignant conditions, such as (but not limited to):
Treatment for enlarged thymus gland as an infant Irradiation for benign breast conditions, including breast inflammation after giving birth Treatment for Hodgkin's disease Women who have participated in a prior breast clinical trial that gave additional radiation dose, such as an additional mammogram.
Women who have received large numbers of diagnostic x-ray examinations for monitoring of disease such as (but not limited to):
Tuberculosis Severe scoliosis
Additional Exclusion Criteria Due To Contrast Injection:
