Abstract
This paper presents results from the development and evaluation of a dedicated Computer-Aided Detection and Diagnosis (CAD) system for Microwave Imaging (MWI) of the breast. CAD systems play a very important role in aiding breast cancer detection, since they help minimising the number of false positives usually associated with most breast imaging techniques. Both imaging and diagnosis of the breast are integrated in the proposed system, by using state of the art Microwave Tomography techniques and refined tumour-grading algorithms. With the proposed system, microwave images allow for the isolation of the tumour response in the recorded signals which ultimately leads to improved performances when diagnosing tumours based on their level of malignancy.
