New 3D ultrasound aims to sharpen breast cancer detection
NCT ID NCT04692818
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new 3D ultrasound imaging method to see if it can better diagnose breast masses. Researchers will compare the new 3D images to standard 2D ultrasound in 125 adult women with solid breast lesions. The goal is to improve accuracy and reduce unnecessary biopsies.
