MammoWave Breast Imaging Device: Path to Clinical Validation, Results and Implications in Future Population-based Breast Screening Programs

Microwave imaging for breast cancer detection has attracted growing global attention with a small number of prototypes advancing to the clinical trial stage. This investigation aims to provide an overview of MammoWave, a novel microwave-based imaging system for breast lesion detection and to assess its introduction into the clinical routine and its potential role in future breast screening programs. As a key focus of this work, we will describe in detail the various aspects of the clinical protocol procedure that has enabled us to perform a successful clinical trial. Obtained preliminary results indicate the ability of our device to distinguish breasts with no radiological finding and those with radiological findings, with a sensitivity of 89.6%.
