Ultrasound developer U-Systems of Sunnyvale, CA, and George Washington University in Washington, DC, have initiated the somo-InSIGHT clinical study.
The study will examine whether full-field digital mammography (FFDM) along with the company's somo.v automated breast ultrasound system (ABUS) can improve breast cancer detection versus mammography alone in women with dense breasts.
Under the direction of principal investigator Dr. Rachel Brem, a professor of radiology and director of the Breast Imaging and Intervention Center at George Washington, researchers plan to recruit more than 20,000 women for the project.
