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?
