Subjects with a non-suspicious breast mass will be recruited.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.
The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.
A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.
Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Subjects will undergo a baseline QT scan, and a follow-up QT scan performed between 90 days and 180 days from their baseline QT Scan accompanied by a HHUS and ultrasound-guided breast biopsy following the first follow-up QT scan. BI-RADS will be confirmed by the radiologist at the time of the first HHUS. Subjects will receive a telephone follow-up contact approximately 2-3 business days after their ultrasound-guided breast biopsy to assess if any adverse events have occurred. Subjects will be asked to come back for an additional follow-up QT Scan 12 months from the time of their baseline QT Scan.
Diagnostic Test: QT Ultrasound
Subjects that have not had (2) two QT Scans before their breast biopsy and who haven't yet had a breast biopsy will undergo an optional baseline QT scan accompanied by a HHUS and ultrasound-guided breast biopsy. BI-RADS will be confirmed by the radiologist. Subjects will receive a telephone follow-up contact approximately 2-3 business days after their ultrasound-guided breast biopsy to assess if any adverse events have occurred. Subjects will be asked to come back for a follow-up QT Scan between 90 and 180 days from the time of their study biopsy. Subjects that have had a breast biopsy on their identified breast mass(es) prior to study enrollment and have not already had two (2) QT Scans will undergo an optional baseline QT scan if between 0 and 30 days from their breast biopsy. Subjects will be asked to come back for a follow-up QT Scan 12 months from the time of their study biopsy.
Diagnostic Test: QT Ultrasound
All subjects will be asked to agree to an ultrasound-guided breast needle biopsy by a qualified radiologist experienced in this procedure if not already completed prior to study entry.
Breast mass doubling time change
The change in calculated mass doubling time using Quantitative Transmission Ultrasound (QT Ultrasound) from a minimum of two study timepoints will be measured and compared to mass histology.
