Patient-Assisted Compression in 3D - Impact on Image Quality and Workflow
NCT03456427 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Patient-assisted compression (PAC) allows the patient to participate in controlling the amount of compression force during mammography and is a personalized approach that has demonstrated successful reduction in discomfort experienced during mammography. General Electric Healthcare's Senographe Pristina, an innovative mammography platform that provides both two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) imaging capabilities, offers both standard and patient-assisted compression modes. This study will evaluate image quality and clinical workflow as it relates to use of PAC with the Senographe Pristina 3D.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03456427
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03456427 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 36 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is GE Healthcare, which has 19 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Breast Cancer appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Patient-Assisted Compression (PAC) is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT03456427 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Florida. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll. Verify current status, eligibility criteria, and contact details directly at ClinicalTrials.gov, and discuss any participation decision with your own healthcare provider.
