PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To examine and compare the distribution of CEUS parameters in breast masses that were evaluated as Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) 4a, 4b, 4c or 5 by conventional ultrasound (US) and were recommended for ultrasound guided biopsy, and to evaluate whether these parameters can be used to classify suspicious cystic-appearing breast masses as benign or malignant. Ia. To develop a CEUS-based radiomics workflow to extract radiomic metrics (\> 1600 features) in classifying breast mass malignancy (Radiomics). Ib. To develop a systematic and rigorous machine learning (ML)-based framework comprised of classification, cross-validation and statistical analyses to identify the best performing classifier for breast malignancy stratification based on CEUS-derived radiomic metrics (time-intensity curve \[TIC\] analysis and Radiomics). Ic. To assess the independent contribution of radiomics classifier and time-intensity curve classifier to the model accuracy in discriminating benign from malignant cases (TIC analysis versus \[vs.\] Radiomics). Id. To assess the potential benefit of machine learning classifier in preventing unnecessary biopsy (TIC analysis and Radiomics). OUTLINE: Patients receive a contrast agent (Lumason or DEFINITY) intravenously (IV) and then undergo CEUS scan over 60-90 minutes.
