Detection of breast cancer using ultra-wide band beamforming algorithm

Abstract

This paper is based on the general principle of beamforming algorithm of array signal processing. It gives a kind of high precision adaptive time-domain beamforming algorithm, uses ultra-wide band (UWB) microwave signal as an emission source applied to the human body in early breast cancer detection. In this paper, we build a two-dimensional, semicircle breast tissue model, use numerical simulation with finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method for detection. The result shows the superiority of beamforming algorithm compared with that of confocal imaging algorithms and beamforming algorithms, especially to the Capon beamforming algorithm.

Biomedical Applications of Electromagnetic Detection: A Brief Review

“…Moreover, they applied delayed multiplication and summation methods in CMI to reduce artifacts and noise and enhance the image [124]. Yang et al first proposed the detection method of the Microwave Image for breast cancer detection based on the principle of ground penetrating radar [125]. It uses the transmitting antenna to emit Ultra-Wideband (UWB) microwaves to irradiate the breast, and then the receiving antenna to receive the scattered signal.…”

Prediction of drug synergy score using ensemble based differential evolution

“…A combination of drug is generally decomposed into synergistic, antagonistic and additive based upon the deviation of the evaluated combination response from the probable effect computed using a reference technique of non-interaction [3][4][5]. The majority of standard reference techniques were designed for lowthroughput drug combination analysis that make the technique expectations frequently unsuited with the complex drug interaction patterns across several dose pairs [6][7][8]. These dose pairs are computed in large-scale dose-response matrix analysis [9].…”
