Microwave Medical Imaging in a Non-Invasive Breast Cancer Diagnosis System

The most osteophyl cancer diagnosed amongst women is breast cancer. It’s incidence depends on antecedents, on race, on environment, medication and life quality, but it is arising to all ages and it is not forgiving patient ignorance. Easy, non-harmful ways of cancer detection implemented nowadays, became more accessible for all the possible subjects. The main non-invasive methods of breast abnormal area detection are conceived using the optical reflection, and respectively infrared and (our approach) microwave body emission. Noninvasive methods have the advantage of the possibility to be repeated as often as necessary for grow rate or remission survey, essential in diagnosis. Microwave radiometry has been implemented in a complex installation in the Bioengineering Faculty scientific research laboratory, by a multi-disciplinary team. Key-Words: Infrared images, microwaves emission, scintigraphy, SPECT, PET, breast cancer detection, magnetic shielded room.
