OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
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.
