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.
