Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Antenna Sensor Based Microwave Breast Imaging: A Review

Abstract: Globally, breast cancer is reported as a primary cause of death in women. More than 1.8 million new breast cancer cases are diagnosed every year. Because of the current limitations on clinical imaging, researchers are motivated to investigate complementary tools and alternatives to available techniques for detecting breast cancer in earlier stages. This article presents a review of concepts and electromagnetic techniques for microwave breast imaging. More specifically, this work reviews ultra-wideband (UWB) an… Show more

“…Fast emerging technologies have been developed and advanced by the scientists in the past few decades, to study the biophysical properties of cells and to make extensive influences on biology and the clinical research field. For the breast cancer detection, available techniques are X-ray mammography [47], magnetic resonance imaging [48], ultrasound waves [49,50], positron emission tomography [51], and ultrawideband techniques [52]. A comparison of these techniques has been done in Table 2, depicting sensitivity, specificity, positive predicted value, and accuracy.…”

“…The rate of a woman contracting breast cancer is reported at a worrying rate globally, particularly in developing countries. Symptoms of breast cancer, for instance, visual changes in the breasts are usually discovered only at the final stage [ 1 ]. Consequently, most of the breast cancer cases are detected in the latter stage, at which, are deemed as too late for medical treatment, thus causing death [ 1 , 2 ].…”

“…The research involving UWB imaging for breast cancer started effectively in year 1999 by S.C. Hagness from Winconsin University, USA [7], and since then, started to gain popularity among the researchers, credit to the advancement of computational power since late 1990s. Basically, researchers used either real-time machines such as a vector network analyzer or machine learning to analyze the UWB signals [1].…”
