Microwave Imaging for Breast Follow-up
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial explores how a new microwave imaging technology, WVI-MIS-02-2025, can measure and analyze breast tissue, particularly for women needing further tests after a mammogram. The researchers aim to compare these microwave images with traditional mammogram data, focusing on identifying areas of concern. Women who have had a mammogram in the last six weeks and require additional imaging due to specific findings might be suitable candidates. Participants will have their breasts scanned up to three times during follow-up appointments and will complete surveys about their breast health and scanning experience. As an unphased trial, this study allows participants to contribute to the development of innovative imaging technology that could enhance breast cancer diagnostics.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. However, since the trial is focused on imaging and not treatment, it's unlikely that you would need to stop any medications.
What prior data suggests that this microwave imaging technique is safe for breast follow-up?
Research has shown that microwave imaging for breast check-ups is generally safe. One study found that this method does not significantly heat breast tissue, making it unlikely to cause harm. Another study on using microwaves to detect breast cancer reported that patients handled the process well, with no major side effects.
The device used in this trial, WVI-MIS-02-2025, captures images of the breast using microwaves. These microwaves are similar to those in everyday items like Wi-Fi and cell phones, which are considered safe. Participants in past studies have undergone similar procedures without problems, suggesting this trial is likely safe for participants.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about the trial for Microwave Imaging for Breast Follow-up because it offers a non-invasive and radiation-free alternative to traditional imaging methods like mammograms and MRIs. This technique uses microwave technology to capture images, which could be more comfortable and safer for patients. Additionally, it has the potential to provide quicker and more detailed insights into breast health, helping doctors make more informed decisions about patient care.
What evidence suggests that this microwave imaging technique is effective for breast follow-up?
Research shows that microwave imaging is a promising tool for checking breast health. In earlier studies, this method successfully found and pinpointed most breast lumps, whether harmless or cancerous. One study found that it detected 9 out of 11 breast cancers, including some that did not appear on regular mammograms. Additionally, microwave imaging uses non-ionizing waves, making it safer than other imaging methods that use radiation. This trial will evaluate the WVI-MIS-02-2025 device, which could also help in tracking breast cancer treatment and screening.678910
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for women who have been asked to return for follow-up breast imaging. Participants will undergo additional microwave scans using the WVI-MIS-02-2025 technology, alongside their scheduled mammograms.Inclusion Criteria

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?
Interventions
- WVI-MIS-02-2025
Trial Overview
The study tests if microwave images can be compared with mammograms in terms of positioning and tissue properties. It aims to see if these new scans can identify anomalies like a mammogram does, by scanning each breast up to three times.
