Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers globally. Thermography is an FDA-approved non-ionizing remote breast cancer screening modality for early breast abnormality (and cancer) detection. The introduction of thermography for breast cancer detection has stirred a debate among medical experts, physicians, and engineers questioning the use of thermography as a standalone diagnostic tool for breast cancer detection. With the advancement of engineering technologies such as the quality of thermal cameras and enhanced breast abnormality detection algorithms, the time might be ripe to reconsider thermography as a viable choice for breast cancer screening. This article discusses the issues existing in the field of breast cancer detection using thermography from an engineering perspective and possible solutions to address the issues.
期刊介绍：
IEEE Instrumentation & Measurement Magazine is a bimonthly publication. It publishes in February, April, June, August, October, and December of each year. The magazine covers a wide variety of topics in instrumentation, measurement, and systems that measure or instrument equipment or other systems. The magazine has the goal of providing readable introductions and overviews of technology in instrumentation and measurement to a wide engineering audience. It does this through articles, tutorials, columns, and departments. Its goal is to cross disciplines to encourage further research and development in instrumentation and measurement.
