Not Applicable
Terminated
Conditions
Breast Cancer
Interventions
Procedure: Molecular Breast Imaging
Registration Number
NCT01723124
Lead Sponsor
Mayo Clinic
Brief Summary

The purpose of this research is to evaluate whether repeating a screening Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI) study two years after an initial screening MBI study further improves breast cancer detection in women with dense breast tissue.

Study & Design

Study Type
INTERVENTIONAL
Study Design
SINGLE_GROUP
Arm && Interventions
GroupInterventionDescription
Molecular Breast ImagingMolecular Breast ImagingMolecular Breast Imaging (MBI) utilizes small high resolution gamma camera detectors in a dual-detector configuration to image the breast following the administration of a radiopharmaceutical that accumulates preferentially in breast tumors.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI) scanPerformed at Year 0 of study

The Year 0 MBI will be interpreted in isolation, with the radiologist blinded to Year 0 mammogram results and all relevant clinical information.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI) scanPerformed at Year 2 of study

The Year 2 MBI will be interpreted in comparison with the Year 0 MBI but in isolation from the Year 2 mammogram.
