Validation of Wavelia Microwave Breast Imaging System Using Mammography Breast Density

This paper presents a method for transforming the coordinates of regions of interest from 2D mammograms to a 3D spatial reference frame using estimates of breast tissue thickness provided by an available software for mammography data analysis. The method was developed to assist in interpreting and validating the 3D findings of a microwave breast imaging apparatus known as Wavelia against mammography. Results from the First-in-Human clinical investigation with the Wavelia system are used to illustrate the potential and feasibility of the proposed technique.
