Imaging Quality and Potential Clinical Relevance of Phase Contrast Mammography In-vivo: a Single-center, Prospective Study

This study is testing a new type of mammography technology called phase contrast mammography, which uses X-rays in a different way to potentially provide clearer images of breast tissue. Researchers want to see if this technique produces better-quality images and could be relevant for breast cancer detection and surgical planning. **You may be eligible if...** - You are over 18 and scheduled for breast surgery (mastectomy, tumor removal, or biopsy) - OR you are over 18 with a highly suspicious or known breast cancer lesion scheduled for surgery - OR you are over 40 and attending routine mammography screening or diagnostic imaging **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are pregnant - You have implants or devices that would affect the imaging - You are unable to give informed consent Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
