Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Microwave scanning device
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a new, radiation-free way to check breast implants for problems.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 10 participants. It only checks if the device can see implants, not if it can diagnose ruptures or other issues.
