Clinical Utility of a Low-Cost Hand-Held Breast Scanner

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Symptomatic Breast Lump
Registration Number
NCT02762565
Lead Sponsor
Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Medicine
Brief Summary

Early detection of breast cancer improves the survival rate and makes treatment less costly. This study would measure the accuracy a low-cost hand-held commercially viable device, iBE, for the detection of clinically relevant findings in the breast using the results of current mammography as a comparison. This research will have no impact on clinical decision making.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Quadrants With Detected Breast Lesions3 months

The iBE results were evaluated by definitive quadrants. The definitive quadrants break down the superimposed clock into 4 equal sectors (e.g. 12-3, 3-6, 6-9, 9-12).

Sensitivity of iBE Breast Lesion Detection1 day

the number of quadrants with positive breast lesion detected by iBE confirmed by mammogram and ultrasound, 4 quadrants per breast per participant. 77 quadrants were labeled positive for breast lesion by iBE, 66 were confirmed positive by mammogram or ultrasound allowing calculation of sensitivity of the the iBE breast lesion detection

Specificity of iBE Breast Lesion Detection1 day

the number of quadrants characterized normal breast by iBE confirmed by mammogram and ultrasound, 4 quadrants per breast per participant
