PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:~I. To show that ABUS reduces artifact compared to HHUS in terms of detection of the residual tissue in reconstructed nipple sparing mastectomy (NSM) and skin sparing mastectomy (SSM) patients.
This clinical trial evaluates automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) and handheld ultrasound (HHUS) for the screening of women who have undergone breast reconstruction after breast cancer. Ultrasounds use high-frequency sound waves to create pictures of internal organs and tissues. ABUS has been found to be equal to HHUS for whole breast screening, but no data exist on its use for screening of reconstructed patients. This clinical trial evaluates the feasibility of using ABUS versus HHUS to screen women who have undergone reconstruction.
