Thermalogical Analysis of a Cohort of Women and Men Undergoing Mammographic Analysis.

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This study is designed to evaluate the Sentinel BreastScan II as well as the analysis of data by Therma-Scan.

Detailed Description
-----------------
FirstSense Medical, LLC is a medical device company which has developed a breast cancer screening device, the Sentinel BreastScan II [SBS II]. This radiation free device is being developed to produce data which will be analyzed by Therma-Scan Reference Laboratory. Dr. Hoekstra, CEO of Therma-Scan, is the author of a published paper based on breast thermal data with a reported 95% sensitivity and 91% specificity. The SBS II examination will take approximately 7 minutes. This study is designed to evaluate the Sentinel BreastScan II as well as the analysis of data by Therma-Scan. SBS II thermal breast data is an adjunctive aid to standard breast imaging. Currently, mammography is one of the standards of care in screening for visible signs of breast cancer. Breast thermology is the analysis of the heat signature data from an examined breast. All study costs will be incurred by the sponsor. Study subjects will incur no cost to participate. All scientific data revealed in this protocol will be used for the specific objectives of the study. The SBS II is a non-significant risk device. There is no contact with the subject during the entire procedure.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| SBS II<br> | Device: Sentinel BreastScan II<br>* The SBS II will automate the recording of thermal data used in the Therma-Scan manual thermology protocol by utilizing a thermal camera sensitive to changes in breast temperature. The SBS II system uses a very sensitive thermography camera that detects and visually displays heat patterns that naturally emanate from the breast. SBS II captures this data digitally for subsequent analysis by Therma-Scan.<br>|

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Measure protocol accuracy | To measure the sensitivity and specificity of thermographic analysis based on the Marseilles analytic protocol [ Th 1 thru 5 ] to biopsy results predicated on standard breast imaging criteria [ BIRADS analytical protocol, B1 thru B5 ]. The resultant BIRADS score and biopsy pathological results will be compared to thermographic analysis [ Th1 thru 5 ] for each subject. 50 subjects undergoing both thermography and standard breast imaging leading to biopsy [ BIRADS 3 thru 5 ] will then be compared by measuring the results of each, BIRADS for standard breast imaging v the Marseilles Th system used in thermographic analysis, for concordance or discordance of findings as measured on final pathological analysis. This analysis will be performed for each subsequent 50 patient cohort undergoing standard mammographic/ultrasound breast imaging analysis. | Through study completion, an average of 4 years. |
