In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This clinical trial investigates the role of contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in identifying cystic breast masses as benign or malignant. Ultrasound is a diagnostic imaging test that uses sound waves to make pictures of the body without using radiation (x-rays). Ultrasounds are widely used to diagnose many diseases in the body. This trial may help researchers learn if using CEUS will help in determining whether or not an ultrasound guided biopsy is necessary.
