Summary
This trial studies photoacoustic imaging of the breast in patients with breast cancer and healthy subjects. Dense breasts typically reduce the sensitivity of a mammography and also is associated with a higher risk of breast cancer. Photoacoustic tomography combines light and sound to provide more information about breast tissue.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To identify photoacoustic features of breast malignancy and treatment response OUTLINE: Participants undergo photoacoustic imaging of the breast over 30 minutes. At subject's discretion, imaging may repeat for a total of 10 studies, each in a separate day.
Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:
* Women with clinically suspicious or confirmed breast cancer masses (that have not been surgically removed) and will/have already undergo/undergone breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Exclusion Criteria:
* Pregnant women (there are no known risks to these procedures, but any unforeseen risks are as yet undetermined, so pregnant women will be excluded by means of a verbal confirmation at time of screening).
* Women who have had breast implants in the previous 6 months.
* Women who have had lumpectomy
* Adults unable to consent.
* Individuals who are not yet adults (infants, children, teenagers).
