The purpose of this study is to compare the imaging performance of an investigational breast
computed tomography (CT) scanner, built at UC Davis, with that of an FDA-Approved breast
tomosynthesis scanner (capable of producing standard 2-D mammography and 3-D tomosynthesis
images), built by Hologic, Incorporated, in a group of patients with suspected breast cancer.

tomosynthesis scanner (capable of producing standard 2-D mammography and 3-D tomosynthesis
images), built by Hologic, Incorporated, in a group of patients with suspected breast cancer.
The primary aim of this study is the comparison of tumor conspicuity on images taken by both
systems (computed tomography versus standard 2-D mammography versus 3-D tomosynthesis) using
a ten point conspicuity scale as the end-point. Secondary aims will be to compare the number
of lesions detected by the two systems, and to compare the estimated radiation dose of the
two systems.

Inclusion Criteria:
- 35 years of age or older
- While male patients will not be explicitly excluded, it is expected that all patients
in this study will be women

breast malignancy -BIRADS (Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System) categories 4 and
5
- Scheduled for ultrasound or stereotactic core biopsy
- Ability to lie still on a table top for up to 10 minutes, longer than the typical
breast CT duration.
- Ability to understand risks, procedures, and benefits involved
Exclusion Criteria:
- Recent breast biopsy
- History of breast augmentation implant
- Pregnant or Positive urine pregnancy test (UPT) or currently breast-feeding
- History of moderate or severe adverse reaction to iodinated contrast injection
- Recent serum creatinine ≥ 1.5 mg/dL
- History of Diabetes Mellitus
- Currently taking Glucophage or Glucovance (Metformin)
- History of chronic asthma
- History of allergy to iodine
- Multiple food and/or drug allergy
- Renal disease
- History of pulmonary disease, phobia of breath holding, or other condition that could
prevent the subject from being able to perform the 16 second breath hold
