Abstract

Breast cancer continues to be the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women globally. Early identification and monitoring of breast lesions are essential, with medical imaging playing a pivotal role in this process. Although X-ray mammography is the most widely used imaging tool for breast cancer, it is unsuitable for pregnant women and individuals with dense breast tissue. Microwave breast imaging presents a promising alternative due to its non-ionizing, non-invasive, and cost-effective nature. Recent advancements in microwave breast imaging have opened new pathways for early detection and treatment of breast cancer. By integrating microwave imaging with artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, breast tumors can now be identified and classified quickly and affordably. This talk will highlight recent developments in AI-driven microwave imaging for breast cancer detection.
