NCT ID NCT07487792

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study will test if a microwave imaging device can detect breast implants in 10 women who have had implants for at least 6 months. Researchers want to see if the scanner can create clear images of the implants and compare the left and right breasts. The goal is to explore a safer, radiation-free way to monitor implants.
