Abstract

Microwave (MW) breast imaging has been investigated as a complementary breast diagnosis modality for more than 30 years, and it is still an active field of research. We discuss the challenges concerning antenna design and provide a “lookup tool” to help researchers with the selection of the best antenna to suit their needs. Moreover, we examine the algorithms proposed for radar and tomography imaging systems and review how machine learning (ML) techniques have been applied to MW signals to detect signatures or patterns that are otherwise impossible to detect. We discuss data fusion techniques that merge MW and other technologies or signal processing techniques. Finally, we identify open challenges on software and hardware components so that MW breast imaging (MWBI) may become an effective primary diagnosis modality.

用于癌症诊断的微波乳腺成像：生物电磁学概述

微波（MW）乳腺成像作为一种辅助乳腺诊断方式已经研究了 30 多年，目前仍是一个活跃的研究领域。我们讨论了天线设计所面临的挑战，并提供了一个 "查询工具"，帮助研究人员选择最适合他们需要的天线。此外，我们还研究了针对雷达和断层成像系统提出的算法，并回顾了机器学习（ML）技术如何应用于微波信号，以检测到原本无法检测到的特征或模式。我们还讨论了将 MW 与其他技术或信号处理技术相结合的数据融合技术。最后，我们确定了软件和硬件组件方面的公开挑战，以便使钼波乳腺成像（MWBI）成为一种有效的初级诊断模式。

期刊介绍： IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine actively solicits feature articles that describe engineering activities taking place in industry, government, and universities. All feature articles are subject to peer review. Emphasis is placed on providing the reader with a general understanding of either a particular subject or of the technical challenges being addressed by various organizations, as well as their capabilities to cope with these challenges. Articles presenting new results, review, tutorial, and historical articles are welcome, as are articles describing examples of good engineering. The technical field of interest of the Magazine is the same as the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society, and includes the following: antennas, including analysis, design, development, measurement, and testing; radiation, propagation, and the interaction of electromagnetic waves with discrete and continuous media; and applications and systems pertinent to antennas, propagation, and sensing, such as applied optics, millimeter- and sub-millimeter-wave techniques, antenna signal processing and control, radio astronomy, and propagation and radiation aspects of terrestrial and space-based communication, including wireless, mobile, satellite, and telecommunications.
