Breast Cancer Diagnosis Using Microwave and Hybrid Imaging Methods

Abstract

This paper explains new imaging techniques that show promising results in breast cancer detection. The presented techniques use microwave-based methods, wavelet analyses, and neural networks to get a suitable resolution for the breast image. One of the presented techniques (hybrid method) uses a combination of microwaves and acoustic signals to improve the detection capability. Some promising results are shown and explained.
