A Review on Microwave Imaging for Breast Cancer Detection

Breast cancer stands out as the most frequently identified form of cancer and remains the primary contributor to cancer-related fatalities among women globally. Presently, the most effective strategies for managing and treating this disease involve breast scanning for early detection. Within the spectrum of different imaging techniques for breast tumor detection, microwave imaging (MI) is gaining considerable attention as a promising diagnostic tool. MI offers a noninvasive, cost-effective, rapid, user-friendly, and secure screening option. This paper aims to present an updated examination of the principles, advancements, and the ongoing research trends surrounding MI for breast cancer detection.
