New breast scan could rival MRI for detecting tumors
NCT ID NCT05754749
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study compares contrast-enhanced digital breast tomosynthesis (CE-DBT) to standard MRI in 20 women with known breast lesions. Researchers want to see if CE-DBT can give doctors similar confidence in identifying suspicious areas. If it works, it might offer a quicker or more comfortable option for some patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Iohexol (contrast agent)
What this could lead to
If successful, CE-DBT could become a more accessible or faster alternative to MRI for evaluating breast lesions, potentially improving diagnosis.
What could go wrong
This is a very early pilot study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The new method may not match MRI's accuracy.
