Summary

"This trial aims to find the best way to use ultrasound to scan the nipple area for better diagnostic images."

Who is the study for?

This clinical trial is open to healthy individuals who are interested in participating in a study focused on improving ultrasound imaging techniques of the nipple areolar complex (NAC).

What is being tested?

The study is testing different ultrasound scanning methods using various thicknesses of conventional ultrasound coupling gel and pads to find out which provides the best diagnostic images of the NAC.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves non-invasive ultrasound technology with gels and pads, there are minimal expected side effects, primarily discomfort or a cold sensation from the gel.
