Breast Cancer Detection by Magneto-Thermal Modeling of Biological Tissues
Abstract
Abstract
Breast cancer has adversely influenced women’s lives for many years. Yet, the current cancer
detection methods come with disadvantages such as lack of reliability, health concerns, and
high operational costs. This research contributes to the theory and practice of cancer detection technique by introducing a novel method which combines thermal and electromagnetic
responses of human body to radio frequency excitation. Using several simulation studies, It
is demonstrated how the differences in magneto-thermal properties of malignant and healthy
breast tissues can be exploit to pinpoint the size and location of a cancerous tumor.
