About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess whether microwave scans can depict the presence of implants in the breast in women with existing breast implants that were surgically placed at least 6 months ago. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Can a microwave imaging device effectively scan a breast containing implants? 2. Can the presence of implants be identified in a microwave scan? 3. Can the microwave scans of the left and right breasts be compared to assess whether similarity is observed?

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Measurement of regions of interest in microwave images

Images of both breasts will be created. Regions of interest corresponding to the breast implants will be identified using the electrical properties. The size of these regions will be calculated.

Time frame
12 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Comparison of total area in implant in microwave image with known physical size

The total area corresponding to the breast implant in the microwave images will be calculated and compared with the known implant size.

Time frame
12 months
2

Compare microwave scans of the left and right breast

The properties and size of the region corresponding to the implant will be compared between right and left breasts.

Time frame
12 months
