Abstract
In this work, we present our preliminary findings from a prospective multicentric microwave breast imaging clinical trial involving 218 women, within the framework of the RadioSpin project. In addition to the prospective performance evaluation of our microwave imaging device, MammoWave, in classifying breasts with and without radiological findings (using features with appropriate thresholds), we conducted further investigations and analyses to assess the impact of individual frequency sub-bands and the classification of breasts into healthy (without any findings or with benign findings) and non-healthy (malignant findings), based on selected features obtained from a prior clinical trial. Our results reveal the potential for achieving a sensitivity of up to 78% in the detection of radiological findings and up to 89% in the detection of non-healthy (with cancer) breasts.
