(2) QT Ultrasound scans prior to breast biopsy Subjects will undergo a baseline QT scan, and a follow-up QT scan performed between 90 days and 180 days from their baseline QT Scan accompanied by a HHUS and ultrasound-guided breast biopsy following the first follow-up QT scan. BI-RADS will be confirmed by the radiologist at the time of the first HHUS. Subjects will receive a telephone follow-up contact approximately 2-3 business days after their ultrasound-guided breast biopsy to assess if any adverse events have occurred. Subjects will be asked to come back for an additional follow-up QT Scan 12 months from the time of their baseline QT Scan. |
Diagnostic Test: QT Ultrasound
All subjects will be asked to agree to an ultrasound-guided breast needle biopsy by a qualified radiologist experienced in this procedure if not already completed prior to study entry.

(0-1) QT Ultrasound scans prior to breast biopsy Subjects that have not had (2) two QT Scans before their breast biopsy and who haven't yet had a breast biopsy will undergo an optional baseline QT scan accompanied by a HHUS and ultrasound-guided breast biopsy. BI-RADS will be confirmed by the radiologist. Subjects will receive a telephone follow-up contact approximately 2-3 business days after their ultrasound-guided breast biopsy to assess if any adverse events have occurred. Subjects will be asked to come back for a follow-up QT Scan between 90 and 180 days from the time of their study biopsy. Subjects that have had a breast biopsy on their identified breast mass(es) prior to study enrollment and have not already had two (2) QT Scans will undergo an optional baseline QT scan if between 0 and 30 days from their breast biopsy. Subjects will be asked to come back for a follow-up QT Scan 12 months from the time of their study biopsy. |
Diagnostic Test: QT Ultrasound
All subjects will be asked to agree to an ultrasound-guided breast needle biopsy by a qualified radiologist experienced in this procedure if not already completed prior to study entry.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Breast mass doubling time change [90 days]
The change in calculated mass doubling time using Quantitative Transmission Ultrasound (QT Ultrasound) from a minimum of two study timepoints will be measured and compared to mass histology.
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

Female
-
Age 18 or older

-
Have an identified solid non-suspicious breast mass
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Pregnancy
-

-
Not willing to provide information for primary care physician
-
History of breast cancer
-
History of treated or untreated cancer of a non-breast origin which in the judgment of the Principal Investigator would be a concern for metastatic disease to the breast

-
Open wounds, sores or skin rash present on the breast(s) or nipple discharge from the scanned breast(s)
-
