First seen Mar 11, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study looks at four different breast imaging techniques—MRI, digital mammography, ultrasound, and PET scans—to see how well they work together to determine the size and spread of breast cancer. About 400 women recently diagnosed with breast cancer will be scanned before surgery. The goal is to learn which imaging methods are most accurate for staging, not to test a new treatment.
