No-Radiation breast scanner could change cancer detection
NCT ID NCT05300464
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a new device called MammoWave that uses low-power microwaves instead of X-rays to find breast lesions. About 600 women will lie face-down while the device scans their breasts for about 10 minutes. The goal is to see if this safe, radiation-free method can accurately detect breast abnormalities compared to standard mammography.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- MammoWave microwave mammogram device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a safe, radiation-free alternative to traditional mammograms for breast cancer detection.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage device study. It may not be as accurate as standard mammography, and results may not apply to all women.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Signed Informed consent Form * Women * Adult ≥ 18 years old * Having a radiologist study output obtained using mammography within the last month. Such radiologist study output may be integrated with ultrasound and /or magnetic resonance imaging output if deemed necessary by the responsible investigator and when available. The radiological output will be integrated with histological one if deemed necessary by the responsible investigator and when available. * Patients willing to comply with study protocol and recommendations Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who belong to any vulnerable group * Patients with implanted electronic devices * Patients who have undergone biopsy less than one week before MammoWave scan * Patients with nipple piercings (unless they are removed prior to examination) * Pregnancy or breastfeeding
