  • Oncology

Background:

  • Breast cancer is a leading cause of death globally, making early detection crucial.
  • Current screening methods have limitations; novel technologies are needed.
  • Microwave imaging (MWI) is an emerging, noninvasive modality for breast cancer diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive survey of microwave imaging (MWI) for breast cancer detection.
  • To review MWI principles, techniques, and current research status.
  • To identify challenges and future research directions for MWI in clinical settings.

Main Methods:

  • Overview of current MWI techniques, including microwave tomography and radar-based imaging.
  • Explanation of the working principles behind MWI.
  • Review of experimental studies and recent research on MWI for breast cancer detection.

Main Results:

  • MWI is a safe, fast, convenient, and relatively inexpensive screening tool.
  • MWI has demonstrated potential as both a standalone and complementary breast cancer detection method.
  • Several challenges remain for the clinical translation of MWI.

Conclusions:

  • MWI shows significant potential for early breast cancer detection.
  • Further research is needed to overcome existing challenges and facilitate clinical adoption.
  • MWI could enhance breast cancer screening protocols.
