New 3D ultrasound aims to improve breast cancer diagnosis without radiation
NCT ID NCT07505797
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is testing a new 3D automated ultrasound system called ATUSA to see how well it can image suspicious breast lesions. Up to 800 women with suspicious findings on standard imaging will get an ATUSA scan before their biopsy. The goal is to collect images and compare them with biopsy results to improve breast cancer detection.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ATUSA 3D Automated Breast Ultrasound System (device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a more accurate, radiation-free, and operator-independent breast imaging tool for detecting cancer.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a treatment trial. It collects data to validate the device's image quality and may not directly change patient care.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Adult female participants aged 18 to 94 years with previously identified suspicious breast findings (BI-RADS® 4 or 5) detected through standard-of-care diagnostic imaging and referred for breast biopsy. Participants are enrolled at U.S. clinical sites and undergo multimodality breast imaging, including investigational ATUSA 3D automated breast ultrasound and standard-of-care imaging modalities.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Provide written informed consent through a signed and dated consent form. 2. Demonstrate commitment to complete all study requirements and maintain availability for the full study duration. 3. Be female, aged 18 to 94 years (inclusive). 4. Have a recent BI-RADS® 4 or 5 classification confirmed through breast imaging and medical records. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Active skin lesions (open wounds or unhealed sores) on either breast. 2. Implanted medical devices (pacemakers, defibrillators) or MRI incompatible materials that cannot be temporarily removed. 3. Current pregnancy or breastfeeding status (self-reported).Documented hypersensitivity to silicone or gadolinium-based contrast agents. 4. Previous bilateral mastectomy. 5. Physical inability to maintain a supine position for 30 minutes. 6. Breast anatomy incompatible with ATUSA device specifications. 7. Recent (within 12 months) breast surgery or cancer treatment. 8. Negative findings on diagnostic ultrasound examination within 30 days of Screening, but prior to initiating study required procedures. 9. Any medical or psychological condition that, in the Principal Investigator's judgment, could affect study participation or data integrity.
