Breast Abnormalities
Brief summary
This study will test the iBreastExam device to find out whether it can detect a mass or lump in the breast as accurately as a routine breast cancer screening examination. The iBreastExam is a handheld device that performs a painless electronic palpation (examination by touch) of the breast. The device is designed to detect breast abnormalities that may require breast imaging and additional clinical examination by a nurse or doctor. The iBreastExam device creates a color map of the breast, with red spots indicating areas that may be abnormal.
Interventions
The standard CBE will be performed by a nurse practitioner (NP) who will record any positive CBE finding.
The iBE is an FDA 510(k) cleared portable device which utilizes an array of dynamic capacitive pressure sensors to perform electronic palpation for breast abnormalities. The iBE exam will be administered by a mammogram technologist, blinded to CBE results.
All patients will have routine standard mammographic views performed. Patients with positive iBE and/or CBE findings will have additional mammographic and/or ultrasound imaging to determine if a correlating breast lesion is present using the same standard of care algorithm as is used currently for positive CBE findings.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Compare the Outcomes of the iBE Examinations to Clinical Breast Examinations (CBE)by Estimating the Sensitivity of the Device Using Imaging Results | approximately one month after imaging scan | comparing the calculated the sensitivities or the percentage of true positive breast lesions (based on imaging results) of the iBE and CBE |
| Compare the Outcomes of the iBE Examinations to Clinical Breast Examinations by Estimating the Specificity of the Device Using Imaging Results | approximately one month after imaging scan | comparing the calculated the specificities or the percentage of true negative lesions (based on imaging results) of the iBE and CBE |
