Breast cancer is the most common cancer among females, and one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Nowadays, the most common method for breast cancer detection is X-ray mammogram screening. Since mammography employs ionizing radiations, the repetition of exposure is not recommended. Aiming to overcome this limitation of the X-ray mammogram screening, a new, low-cost and safe microwave imaging...
As most of the microwave imaging techniques for breast cancer detection rely on the three-dimensional distribution of the scattered signals, the knowledge of the possible distribution of those scattered signals around the imaged breast is vital to improve the processing techniques, and thus to get an accurate three-dimensional image of the breast. In this paper, a closed form solution is presented...
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer worldwide and the fifth most common cause of cancer death. There are many prognostic factors associated with breast cancer which are usually considered when determining how cancer will affect a patient. In addition, distinct molecular subtypes of breast tumors have been described by gene expression profiling. In this work we integrate information from...
Today Breast cancer is the leading cause of death of women. Currently the effective method for early detection and screening of breast cancers is Ultrasonography. But the high rate of false positives in mammography causes a large number of unnecessary biopsies. Ultrasonography is an important adjunct to mammography in breast cancer detection. The accuracy rate of breast ultrasound can reach a high...
Microwave imaging has grown in recent years as a promising technique for breast cancer detection. Its physical principle exploits the different dielectric characteristics of normal and tumoral breast tissues. In 2007 a study evaluated the dielectric properties of normal (adipose, glandular and fibroconnective), malignant (invasive and non-invasive ductal and lobular carcinomas) and benign (fibroadenomas...
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers and a major cause for death among women. Current clinical treatments are generally divided into surgical treatment, chemical synthetic drug treatment and radiotherapy. However the cure rate of these methods is lower and the poisonous side effect is great. With the development of bio-electro-magnetic, the electromagnetic radiation is frequently used in...
