Pilot Clinical Study to Evaluate High Resolution PET Imaging- Guidance for Sampling of Breast Abnormalities in Patients With Known or Suspected Breast Cancer
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Stereo Navigator Accessory to PEM Flex PET Scanner for Breast Cancer. Completed, enrolled 22 participants across 5 sites.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this pilot clinical study is to test a methodology for using high-resolution Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging to guide vacuum-assisted core biopsy of breast abnormalities identified on PET. In order to implement the PET guidance, the study uses the Stereo Navigator accessory to the high-resolution organ-specific PET scanner (PEM Flex™ PET Scanner, Naviscan PET Systems, Inc., San Diego, CA). The Stereo Navigator is an investigational device intended for guiding biopsy needles toward lesions in breasts identified by a physician on a high resolution PET image. The study will evaluate the clinical utility of the Stereo Navigator in guiding the vacuum-assisted core biopsy of breast abnormalities, following the example of prior studies of breast biopsy guided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

Interventions
For patients with suspicious breast abnormalities seen on high resolution PET image, the patients will be biopsied using commercial vacuum biopsy devices (pre-validated to work with Stereo Navigator) using Naviscan's Stereo Navigator (interventional device) for PET image guidance.
