Can AI find hidden breast markers? new study aims to find out

NCT ID NCT07427407

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study will test an AI-enhanced ultrasound system to see if it can detect breast biopsy markers placed during standard care. About 100 adult women scheduled for breast tumor removal will have a short ultrasound scan. The AI software will try to locate the marker, but results won't change the patient's treatment. The goal is to improve future imaging tools.

What this could lead to
If successful, this AI tool could help doctors more easily find biopsy markers during breast cancer surgery, potentially improving precision.
What could go wrong
This is an early observational study with only 100 participants. The AI may not work well in all cases, and it is not yet used for diagnosis or treatment decisions.
