Abstract

In this paper, we present preliminary outcomes derived from a prospective multicentric clinical trial focusing on microwave breast imaging involving 336 women. This investigation was conducted as part of the RadioSpin project. Our primary objective was to evaluate the prospective performance of MammoWave, our microwave imaging device, in differentiating between breasts with and without radiological findings, utilizing specific microwave images features' thresholds. Beyond this primary assessment, we explored the use of individual frequency sub-bands to categorize breasts into two groups: healthy (without findings or with benign findings) and non-healthy (malignant findings), drawing on features identified in a previous clinical trial. Our findings reveal a sensitivity of 72% in detecting radiological findings and a noteworthy 78% in identifying non-healthy (cancerous) breasts.
