Could microwaves replace X-Rays for breast cancer detection?
NCT ID NCT07273565
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new microwave scanner that measures the electrical properties of breast tissue. Researchers will compare these scans to standard mammograms and ultrasounds in 100 women who need follow-up breast imaging. The goal is to see if microwave imaging can help detect breast abnormalities without radiation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Wave View microwave scanner
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help develop a new, radiation-free way to detect breast abnormalities.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early feasibility study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The technology is not yet proven to replace standard imaging.
