Brief summary

Participants in this study will have Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography/MSOT imaging of both breasts immediately before their ultrasound-guided breast biopsy procedure begins. After the MSO imaging is completed, participation in the study will end.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTMultispectral Optoacoustic Tomography Imaging

Each participants will undergo MSOT imaging of the suspicious breast tumor detected with ultrasound imaging and any additional lesion present in either breast before undergoing ultrasound-guided breast biopsy as the standard of care. Melanoma participants with pathologically confirmed ITM will undergo MSOT imaging following physical exam and biopsy. Melanoma patients receiving immunotherapy will undergo MSOT imaging prior to and following immunotherapy.

Inclusion criteria

* Participant is a female or male who is 18 years of age or older. * Participant must meet one of the following: * Suspicious breast imaging finding detected on either mammography, ultrasound, or MRI that is visible on ultrasound and therefore recommended for ultrasound-guided breast biopsy (BI-RADS 4 suspicious abnormality; BI-RADS 5, highly suggestive for malignancy) * No previous treatment for breast cancer * Diagnosis of melanoma

Exclusion criteria

* Life expectancy \< 3 months

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of participants where tumors were visualized1 yearThe primary goal of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of MSOT for breast cancer and melanoma detection. Feasibility is defined as the ability of the method to visualize tumors that have been identified with standard methods (ultrasound, mammography, MRI), and the ability to obtain oxygenation maps of benign and malignant breast and melanoma tumors. MSOT will be considered feasible if it is able to visualize tumors and obtain oxygenation maps in at least 14 patients out of 20
