What the study is about

This study is being performed to find out if a new kind of breast imaging (called dedicated breast CT or BCT) can help doctors to see the small structures in breast tissue more clearly. The investigators also want to find out if using the BCT will provide a more accurate diagnosis of breast cancer.

Being studied: Dedicated breast CT(BCT)

Conditions: Breast Cancer
