    Status
    Active

    Period
    9/2014 - 12/2017

    Role
    Co-Investigator

    Grant Detail
    This image acquisition study is designed to acquire the study image data and establish and document the clinical findings for each subject. This study will create a library of image data that will be used for future projects, future product development and regulatory submissions. A total of 200 cancer cases (or ?biopsy proven malignant?), 175 recall cases and 350 negative/benign cases will be accumulated at a minimum of 5 or more qualified image acquisition sites. The images will be done via the standard method and via the Aspire Cristalle systems and read on the Aspire Bellus system for the study. The views will include CC and MLO view of each breast for a total of 4 views per imaging system.
    This site is expected to get a total of 280 cases (200 biopsy, 40 recalls, and 40 screenings). Enrolled subject will undergo the Fujifilm FFDM and DBT examinations.
