Breast Elasticity Imaging During Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy
Sponsor: Columbia University
Summary
For this study, the investigators propose investigation of a new imaging technique, Harmonic Motion Imaging (HMI), and the evaluation of its potential role in prediction of breast cancer response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). The investigators hypothesize that changes in HMI parameters will predict response to neoadjuvant systemic therapy in early-stage breast cancer.

Harmonic motion imaging
Harmonic motion imaging (HMI) is a non-invasive ultrasound elasticity imaging technique that yields a quantitative relative measurement of tissue stiffness suitable for comparisons between individuals and over time. This technique induces dynamic tissue vibrations internally for tissue elasticity characterization. Participants will be asked to lie down on their back, hold still with shallow breathing while pictures/images are taken of the breast where the tumor is located using an ultrasound without any invasive procedures.
