A new review paper led by SESCAM, entitled “Clinical readiness of microwave imaging for breast cancer: a state-of-the-art review of current evidence and challenges” explores the latest progress in microwave breast imaging (MBI), a technology that uses safe, low-power radio waves to image the breast without radiation or uncomfortable compression. The review highlights the promising results already achieved by MBI systems, while also discussing the challenges that still need to be addressed before the technology can become part of routine clinical practice. The authors hope this work will help guide future research and support the wider adoption of microwave imaging in breast cancer care.
