    The Wavelia #2 MWBI System is a non-compressive, radiation-free device showing high sensitivity for breast lesion detection.

  • 2

    In a pilot study, Wavelia detected lesions in 56 out of 62 patients, achieving a sensitivity of 90%, exceeding the predefined threshold.

  • 3

    Wavelia demonstrated robust performance in young, pre-menopausal women and those with dense breast tissue, where mammography is less effective.

  • 4

    The integration of AI in Wavelia enhances lesion detection by generating interpretable 3D images, surpassing sensitivity rates of competitor models.

    The study's limitations include a small sample size and potential confounding factors, highlighting the need for multicentre trials to validate findings.
