About this trial
A research study to find out if an investigational mammography machine is effective in producing high-quality images using a lower radiation dose than traditional mammography.

Treatments tested in this trial
2-D Monochromatic X-ray Mammography System
DeviceMonochromatic x-ray mammography system produces superior images as compared to conventional 2-D and 3-D mammography while using a lower radiation dose.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Noninferiority of a 2-D monochromatic X-ray mammography system compared to conventional mammography
Demonstrate that a 2-D monochromatic X-ray mammography system can produce mammographic images using lower radiation dose (at least 20% less than conventional mammography), yet, not inferior to conventional mammography. \[Likert scale 1-3. Higher score is a better outcome\]
Secondary outcomes
Relevant pathologies identified by monochromatic-based x-ray as compared to conventional mammography
Assess ability of monochromatic-based X-ray mammography to identify relevant pathologies in subjects with dense breast issue (BI-RADS density categories C and D) otherwise not detected in scans produced with conventional mammography. \[Likert scale 1-3. Higher score is a better outcome\]
Lower breast compression with monochromatic-based x-ray mammography
Assess ability of monochromatic-based x-ray mammography to produce quality images with lower breast compression. \[Likert scale 1-3. Higher score is a better outcome\]
Quality of images produced by monochromatic-based x-ray mammography at lower radiation dose.
Demonstrate ability of monochromatic-based mammography to produce quality images at radiation doses below maximum FDA-approved radiation dose. \[Likert scale 1-3. Higher score is a better outcome\]
Patient satisfaction with monochromatic x-ray mammography system
Assess patient satisfaction with monochromatic x-ray mammography system. \[Likert scale 1-5. Higher score is a better outcome.\]
