Comparing Mammography Systems for Breast Cancer Screening
This observational study is comparing two FDA-approved mammography systems, the MAMMOMAT B.brilliant and the MAMMOMAT Revelation, for breast cancer screening. Researchers want to see if the MAMMOMAT B.brilliant, which has a shorter scan time, can provide clearer images of suspicious calcifications (tiny calcium deposits that can sometimes indicate cancer). You might be able to join if you are a woman aged 18 or older, presenting for a diagnostic mammogram at Pennsylvania Hospital due to suspicious calcifications found during a previous screening. The study aims to enroll up to 125 participants. The main goal is to compare the image quality of the two systems, specifically how well they show calcifications, over 18 months.
- Study design
- This is an observational study comparing two mammography systems, with a planned enrollment of up to 125 women.
- What's involved
- You would receive a standard diagnostic mammogram on one system and then two additional research images on the other system, which involves 5-25 seconds of compression.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Data will be collected from enrollment to the end of the study at 18 months.

- Comparison of two Siemen System B.brillant and the RevelationFrom enrollment to the end of study at 18 months
• To assess whether the MAMMOMAT B.brilliant, a Novel Wide-Angle Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (NDBT) System, leads to better visualization of calcifications compared to the MAMMOMAT Revelation, a standard wide-angle Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) System, including the assessment of calcifications on synthetic images for both tomosynthesis scans.
