NCT ID NCT07186491
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a wearable ultrasound patch that sticks to the breast and is held in place by a sports bra. Researchers want to see if it can find breast lesions as well as a standard handheld ultrasound. About 50 women will try the patch during a quick 15-minute session. The goal is to make breast imaging easier and more comfortable.
