Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This is an open, multicentric, interventional, prospective, non-randomized clinical investigation. The first aim of the study is to confirm that MammoWave reaches sensitivity\>75% and specificity\>90% in breast cancer (BC) detection on 10.000 volunteers undergoing regular screening programs.

- description
- All participants perform: conventional breast examination path (i.e., screening mammogram, integrated with other radiological/histological output when deemed necessary by the responsible Investigator in each site) AND MammoWave exam.

- description
- MammoWave® sensitivity (percentage of 'true positive' results) while using an optimized classification algorithm. The Reference Standard is intended as the output of conventional breast examination path (i.e. screening mammogram, integrated with other radiological/histological output when deemed necessary by the responsible Investigator). Reference Standard may be: BC+ for the histology-confirmed and classified as BI-RADS 1,2 or 3.
