Microwave Breast Imaging Optimization
FY 2020-21 · 2020-06-01
Summary
Wave View Imaging develops a new breast imaging technology providing breast health information, at the point of care, without discomfort. Thru the use microwave signals to create an image of breast tissues in minutes. Positioning the technology as a tool to monitor breast cancer treatment for which none of the established modalities are adequate. Currently there is a prototype at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre in Calgary that is used to follow radiation therapy treatment; to be expanded to Neo-adjuvant treatment by the end of the year. Results correspond to clinical expectation and are very encouraging. The project goal is to develop a new device with much improved capability and manufacturable in larger scale.

Description (French)
Wave View Imaging conçoit une nouvelle technologie d'imagerie mammaire qui fournit des informations sur la santé des seins, au point de service, sans inconfort. Grâce à l'utilisation de signaux à micro-ondes, il est possible de créer une image des tissus mammaires en quelques minutes. Positionner la technologie comme un outil de suivi du traitement du cancer du sein pour lequel aucune des modalités établies n'est adéquate. Il existe actuellement un prototype au Tom Baker Cancer Centre de Calgary qui est utilisé pour suivre le traitement de radiothérapie; il sera étendu aux traitements néo-adjuvants d'ici la fin de l'année. Les résultats correspondent aux attentes cliniques et sont très encourageants. L'objectif du projet est de concevoir un nouveau dispositif aux capacités nettement améliorées et pouvant être fabriqué à plus grande échelle.
