Using microwave radiometry for detection of breast cancer
ثبت نشده
چکیده
It should be noted that thermal changes precede to the anatomical changes that can be detected by traditional methods such as ultrasonography, mammography and palpation. Thus microwave radiometry is a very promising method for the breast cancer detection at an earlier stage. Also it should be noted that as microwave radiometry measures natural electromagnetic radiation from the patient’s tissue, it is absolutely harmless and safe both to the patients and to the medical personnel. So the method can be used successfully for screening for the monitoring treatment.

Introduction In recent years methods based on radio frequency waves have been used for detecting breast cancer. Using theses waves leads to better results in early detection of breast cancer comparing with conventional mammography which has been used during several years. Materials and Methods In this paper, a new method is introduced for detection of backscattered signals which are received by...

In this paper, a miniaturized coplanar waveguide fed (CPW-fed) tapered slot antenna (TSA) is introduced for breast cancer detection. Here, a modified CPW to slot-line transition structure with an air-bridge is employed to broaden the transition bandwidth and increase the radiation efficiency. Through these applied modifications, negative features of the original TSA (limitation of transition) a...
متن کاملVisibility of breast malignancy by microwave radiometry: preliminary results on a real antenna
In microwave radiometry for early detection of breast malignancy a contacting antenna is scanned on the breast surface, while a pressure is exercised along with a deformation. Assuming the antenna at lower temperature than the breast, the results of a numerical modeling show an interesting increase in tumor radiometric visibility in compressed breast. Preliminary results on a real radiometric a...
