Overview
This is an exploratory, single center, open label, prospective study of BR55 to determine the optimal phase of the menstrual cycle for performing BR55 CEUS of the target ovary in premenopausal women scheduled to undergo preventative surgery because of high familial/hereditary or genetic risk for ovarian cancer.

- Provides written Informed Consent and is willing to comply with protocol requirements.
Exclusion Criteria: Exclude a subject from this study if the subject does not fulfill the inclusion criteria, or if any of the following conditions are observed:

- Has history of concurrent malignancy;
- Has history of any clinically unstable cardiac condition including class III/IV congestive heart failure;

- Has previously been enrolled in and completed this study;
- Has any known allergy to one or more of the ingredients of the Investigational Product or to any other contrast media;
