Treatment and study plan

Thin layer conventional ultrasound coupling gel

Diagnostic Test

The GE Logiq E10 ultrasound scanner and the ML6-15 linear probe will be used to collect B-mode images of the nipple-areolar complex following routine clinical imaging practice, using a thin layer of conventional ultrasound coupling gel.

Thick layer of conventional ultrasound coupling gel

Diagnostic Test

The GE Logiq E10 ultrasound scanner and the ML6-15 linear probe will be used to collect B-mode images of the nipple-areolar complex following routine clinical imaging practice, using a thick layer of conventional ultrasound coupling gel.

Primary outcomes

  1. Image quality satisfaction

    Time frame: Baseline

    Images will be ranked by three independent radiologists and scored from 1 to 4 respectively (1 is the least satisfactory, 4 is the most satisfactory).

Secondary outcomes

  1. Ultrasound exam length of time

    Time frame: Baseline

    The total number of minutes ultrasound is performed on the subjects.
