No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this clinical research study is to characterize the 3-dimensional form and mechanical properties of the breast. Researchers want to do this in order to develop new high technology tools for improving the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer in women.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

3-D Optical Surface Scan

3-D digitized images of the breasts and chest will be taken over a period of five minutes.

PROCEDURE

Mechanical Testing

A small device with a mild suction will be used to measure how the skin tends to stretch.

PROCEDURE

Cutaneous Ultrasound

Cutaneous ultrasound using a 20 MHz machine and the skin thickness will be recorded.

PROCEDURE

Breast MRI and/or CT

Imaging of the breasts and chest using an MRI and/or CT scan over about one hour.
