New breast CT scan could cut unnecessary Call-Backs
NCT ID NCT05036096
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares a new cone beam breast CT scan to standard digital mammography for breast cancer screening. About 1,024 women aged 30 or older (40+ for screening) will get both scans within 4 weeks. Researchers want to see if the new scan gives a similar or lower radiation dose and reduces the number of women called back for extra tests.
