Study Description

Brief Summary: Comparison of Preoperative Automated Breast Ultrasound (ABUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in Newly Diagnosed Breast Cancer Patients.

Detailed Description: This is a prospective pilot study investigating the use of Automated Breast Ultrasound in the preoperative evaluation of newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. The Investigator intends to demonstrate that preoperative automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) will provide a relatively inexpensive and well-tolerated alternative to MRI for detection of occult breast cancer missed by mammography and hand-held ultrasound in women with newly diagnosed breast cancer. The research will take place at the University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC). The research study will be open to newly diagnosed breast cancer patients who present to KUMC with a recommendation for preoperative MRI and who fit all inclusion criteria and have none of the exclusion criteria.
