Indirect Holography Breast Cancer Detection System (IH-BCDS) Using VORD

Abstract

Microwave Imaging is a prominent technique in current imaging modalities for breast cancer detection and its treatment, primarily due to the significant dielectric property contrast between normal and malignant breast tissues. This study describes how VORD Viewpoint-Oriented Requirement Definition (VORD) method is used to examine patients for early detection of cancer by microwave imaging by realizing the existence of multiple perspectives by terminating differences in the demands of stakeholders. The proposed system in this paper is based on microwave imaging by Indirect Holography for Breast Cancer Detection System (IH-BCDS) using Viewpoint-Oriented Requirement Definition (VORD) method. The suggested approach for developing such system is to investigate the possibility of detecting tumors at an early stage by utilizing VORD as analysis tool which is an activity oriented framework for IH-BCDS requirement elicitation. If the system gets implemented successfully, it can play a vital role in detecting the tumor at an early stage by helping a medical specialist in decision making to diagnose the patient.

An Overview of Microwave Imaging for Breast Tumor Detection

“…The output from the microwave generator is split by a directional coupler to provide one signal to illuminate the object under investigation and a second signal to form the reference signal. It is based on the Synthesized Reference Beam method [143]. Indirect holography offers a simple and inexpensive technique for the determination of complex scattered fields using only scalar intensity measurements taken over a single aperture.…”
