Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The primary objective of this study is to obtain infrared (IR) images and video and three-dimensional (3-D) scans of patients referred for biopsy based on the results of their diagnostic breast exam(s). This research study is investigating infrared imaging (also referred to as infrared thermography, or digital infrared thermal imaging (DITI)) of breast cancer. The infrared images collected in this study will be used to construct a computational biothermal engineering model of the cancerous breast. Patients will undergo standard breast cancer screening procedures as part of routine care at Parkland Comprehensive Breast Center. For any patients who are referred for biopsy based on the results of their breast cancer screening procedures, this research study will take infrared images of the patient. Patients will undergo infrared imaging prior to biopsy but will not delay biopsy or treatment; infrared images \& video may be recorded at biopsy visit. The biopsy will confirm/diagnose whether the patient has a benign or malignant condition.

- Patients referred for breast biopsy
- description
- Patients with Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) 4C or 5 diagnosis who have been referred for breast biopsy based on the results of their standard diagnostic breast exam will undergo IR and 3D imaging of the breasts.

Primary outcomes (3)
- measure
- Spatial location of breast tumors
- timeFrame
- Two years
- description
- Researchers will use subjects' radiological imaging data to quantify the location of the tumor inside the breast, including mammography, ultrasound, and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), for patients who are diagnosed with breast cancer. The tumor location will be measured. The tumor location will serve as an input for the computational model. No diagnostic assessments will be made from these data for this research study.
