Comparing the MAMMOMAT B.brilliant and Revelation mammography systems

Official title: A Clinical Comparison of Siemens Mammomat B.Brilliant , A Novel Wide-Angel Digitial Breast Tomosynthesis System With Siemens Mammomat Revelation , A Standard Wide-Angle Digital Breast Tomosynthesis System

Run by University of Pennsylvania · NCT07067788 · Data updated 2026-11-12

We will try two FDA‑approved mammogram machines to see which shows suspicious breast calcifications more clearly in women having diagnostic mammography.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Women aged 18 or older who have suspicious calcifications on a screening mammogram performed on either the MAMMOMAT B.brilliant or Revelation system and who can provide informed consent are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Pregnant or breastfeeding women, people without calcifications, those unable to tolerate compression, or those who cannot travel to Pennsylvania Hospital are unlikely to benefit from participating.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Up to 125 women aged 18 or older who were found to have suspicious calcifications on a screening mammogram at Pennsylvania Hospital will be enrolled. Participants receive their standard diagnostic mammogram on the same system used for screening and then two additional research images on the alternate system. The study compares image quality and calcification visibility between the MAMMOMAT B.brilliant (shorter acquisition time) and the MAMMOMAT Revelation using paired views (MLO and CC) with either 5–8 second or 25 second compression sequences. All clinical decisions remain with the treating radiologist and both units are FDA‑approved and located at the Center for Breast Imaging at Pennsylvania Hospital.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the B.brilliant approach could make calcifications easier to see while shortening scan time, which may improve diagnostic clarity and patient comfort.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have compared different digital breast tomosynthesis and acquisition strategies, but the B.brilliant's specific short‑acquisition, increased‑conspicuity approach is relatively new and not yet widely published.
