Novel Thermal Imaging Technique for Breast Screening
- Conditions
- Breast Cancer
- Interventions
- Device: Thermalytix
- Registration Number
- NCT05650086
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Arizona
- Brief Summary
This trial is to study a new breast imaging tool called Thermalytix™. ThermalytixTM is a new radiation-free, automated breast cancer screening technique that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) over thermal images. Thermal images are heat signatures in our body. This new technique will capture heat signatures in the breast and analyze those images with AI software. This study will evaluate the performance of ThermalytixTM breast imaging against standard imaging modalities, such as mammography and ultrasound.

Group Intervention Description Cohort 2: Screening mammogram Thermalytix Patients who underwent screening mammogram will be enrolled. Cohort 1: Biopsy Thermalytix Subjects who are scheduled for biopsy will be enrolled. Cohort 3: Diganostic mammogram Thermalytix Subjects scheduled for diagnostic mammogram will be enrolled. Cohort 4: Prior history of lympectomy, routine mammogram Thermalytix Subjects with prior history of lumpectomy scheduled for their routine mammogram will be enrolled.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Sensitivity and specificity of ThermalytixTM in detecting breast cancer Through study completion, an average of 30 days Determine sensitivity and specificity of ThermalytixTM in detecting breast cancer in patients scheduled to undergo breast biopsy (Cohort 1). The sensitivity and specificity will be estimated using 95% exact binomial confidence intervals. The required sample size was determined based on the target sensitivity and specificity, and the resulting confidence intervals.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Correlate normal screening mammogram results with ThermalytixTM results Through study completion, an average of 30 days To compare ThermalytixTM with screening mammogram in healthy subjects undergoing routine screening. Cohort 2 will be used to assess this endpoint. The specificity will be estimated using 95% exact binomial confidence intervals. The required sample size was determined based on the target specificity, and the resulting confidence intervals.
Sensitivity and specificity of ThermalytixTM in assessing need for biopsy Through study completion, an average of 30 days To determine accuracy of ThermalytixTM in assessing need for biopsy in patients who are found to have abnormal screening mammogram. Cohort 1 subjects will be used to determine this endpoint. The sensitivity and specificity will be estimated using 95% exact binomial confidence intervals. The required sample size was determined based on the target sensitivity and specificity, and the resulting confidence intervals.
Report patient experience with ThermalytixTM Through study completion, an average of 30 days Patient experience with ThermalytixTM will be documented via questionnaires. On a scale of 1-5, patients will document their experience during their mammogram and Thermalytix exam; in general, higher values indicate a better outcome.
Correlate diagnostic mammogram results with ThermalytixTM results Through study completion, an average of 30 days To compare ThermalytixTM with diagnostic mammogram in subjects who underwent diagnostic mammogram. Cohort 3 will be used for this endpoint. The specificity will be estimated using 95% exact binomial confidence intervals. The required sample size was determined based on the target specificity, and the resulting confidence intervals.
Correlate mammogram results with ThermalytixTM results in patients who underwent lumpectomy Through study completion, an average of 30 days To compare ThermalytixTM with mammogram result (screening or diagnostic) in women who underwent lumpectomy. Cohort 4 will be used for this endpoint. The specificity will be estimated using 95% exact binomial confidence intervals. The required sample size was determined based on the target specificity, and the resulting confidence intervals.
