A survey of breast cancer screening techniques: thermography and electrical impedance tomography

Applications of Electrical Impedance Tomography in Neurology

Introduction: Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive technique utilized in various medical applications, including brain imaging and other neurological diseases. Recognizing the physiological and anatomical characteristics of organs based on their electrical properties is one of the main applications of EIT, as each variety of tissue structure has its own electrical characteris...

Utilisation of electrical impedance tomography in breast cancer diagnosis.

BACKGROUNDS Breast cancer presents a serious medical and social problem worldwide. Early detection is key to effective breast cancer treatment. Therefore, scientists are consistently looking for new diagnostic techniques that would be more efficient, easy to use and safe for the patient. The main task of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a novel low-cost non-invasive technique calle...

Breast Cancer Detection Using Electrical Impedance Tomography: Spice Simulation

A WO dimensional. 16-electrode Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) system has been simulated using PSPICE to determine whether EIT can be used as a screening technique for early breast cancer detection. Simulation results show that a tumor of area of 1% of the cross-sectional breast model area produces more than 4% variation in the voltage magnitude at the surface electrodes when compared to ...

SHIRAZ BREAST CANCER STUDY PART II: SCREENING MAMMOGRAPHY IN A OPULATIONBASED BREAST CANCER SURVEY

The purpose of this study was to assess the detection rate of mammography in breast cancer and the attendance rate in response to the call for screening mammography in females before the development of symptoms. One-thousand four-hundred and thirty-eight women over 35 years of age who had no complaint and had normal breast examinations were called for mammography. Out of the 10,000 women u...
