NCT ID NCT06157879
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study tested a low-power microwave imaging system on 50 healthy women aged 18-74. The goal was to see if the electrical properties of breast tissue match up with breast density seen on mammograms. Each participant had both breasts scanned six times. The results could help create a safer, radiation-free method for breast screening.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help develop a new, radiation-free way to assess breast density, potentially improving breast cancer screening.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early observational study with only 50 participants. It does not test a treatment, and the results may not lead to a practical screening tool.
