This research aims to train radiologists in Nigeria to perform ultrasound-guided breast biopsies for breast cancer diagnosis. The study focuses on introducing a practical and sustainable training method using mobile health (mHealth) devices to improve diagnostic practices in Nigerian hospitals, where blind biopsy or surgical excision is currently the norm. Women participating in the study will receive ultrasound-guided breast biopsies performed by trained radiologists. This method is considered the standard of care in the United States due to its higher accuracy compared to blind biopsies and equivalence to surgical excision. The study evaluates the use of mHealth technology to facilitate this training and clinical implementation. Participants will be monitored for the number of successful ultrasound-guided breast biopsies within one year. The study collects data on the effectiveness of the training and biopsy procedures, aiming to enhance breast cancer diagnosis at the point of care. Women must consent to participate and meet eligibility criteria, with all procedures and outcomes tracked during the study period.
