Official Title: Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis of Cystic Breast Masses by Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound: Is Biopsy Necessary?

Brief Summary: The overarching goal of the proposed research is to evaluate whether qualitative and quantitative parameters in real time contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can aid in assessing suspicious indeterminate cystic appearing breast masses and ultimately determine whether or not an ultrasound guided biopsy is necessary. The underlying hypothesis is that breast masses (given BIRADS 4) that lack enhancement on CEUS will have a benign histology obtained by ultrasound guided core biopsy and/or surgery. Then, in the future, these non-enhancing cystic lesions can be followed and do not need biopsy intervention.
