Early detection of cancerous tissues in human breast utilizing near field microwave holography

Abstract: This work demonstrates an application of near field indirect microwave holography for the detection of malignant tissues in human breast in an effective way. The holograms are recorded by two directive antennas aligned along each other's boresight while performing a raster scan over a 2D plane utilizing XYlinear motorized translation stage and a uniform reference wave. The whole

“…The general equation for the intensity of a recorded hologram is given in Equation () 11 : Iδ=ψnormalo+ψnormalrexp2 where I δ is the hologram intensity, Ψ 0 and Ψ r stand for the complex amplitude of object and reference waves respectively, and δ represents the phase shift between object and reference waves. Here, in three‐step phase shifting, the phase of reference wave is shifted sequentially by a phase step of 2π/3.…”

“…10,11 The authors have recently applied the concept of the electronically synthesized reference wave for recording and reconstructing microwave holograms. [11][12][13] Although the setup has small size directive antennas associated with it, whereas other components used for interference were based on waveguides, making the system bulky. The object wave was combined with a known reference wave with constant amplitude and linearly increasing phase shift in each sample, which causes twin image problem.…”

“…The preprocessing method aims to ameliorate the image quality or to improve those image features that are necessary for further processing. 11 Unknown noise, inhomogeneity, poor image contrast, weak borders are the common features of the clinical images. The process of preprocessing can rectify all these problems.…”

“…Although false positive assumptions can lead to an unwanted biopsy, false negative assumptions can lead to a delayed diagnosis of the real tumor. There is a strong need for measures to identify abnormal tissue automatically in mammograms 2 . Machine‐based mammogram review is now an active area of research that seeks to help radiologists enhance diagnosis by reducing both the number of missing tumors (false negatives) and the number of fine biopsy specimens (false positives).…”
