RECRUITINGOBSERVATIONAL
An Investigation Into Dielectric Assessment of Permittivity and Conductivity in Human Using a Novel Electrical Capacitance Tomography Scanner
An Investigation Into Dielectric Assessment of Permittivity and Cancer in Human Using a Novel Electrical Capacitance Tomography Scanner
About This Trial
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the ability of a the Z-scanner to identify and differentiate cancer and benign lesions from healthy breast tissue based on permittivity. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Determine the permittivity values of the Z-scanner associated with healthy, benign, and malignant tissue in human breasts. 2. Determine the repeatability, reproducibility, inter-and intra-operator variability of the Z-scanner.
Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)
Who May Qualify:
- Attending a symptomatic clinic or other appointment at a participating breast clinic site
- Assigned female sex at time of birth
- Aged 18 years or older at time of scan
- Willing, able and mentally competent to read, understand, and provided willing to sign a consent form in English
Who Should NOT Join This Trial:
- Participants who have undergone biopsy less than 14 days before the Z-scanner scan
- Participants with implanted electronics
- Participants with breast implants
- Participants with nipple piercings (unless they are removed prior to the scan)
- Participants who are lactating
- Pregnant participants by verbal confirmation
- Participants with pacemakers
- Participants with open breast wound
- Participants who had previous breast surgery (mastectomy, lumpectomy)
