“…However, the classifier was profiled to applications for this particular task and required a ground truth group, which is not possible in all cases of thermal image analysis . There are also other known methods of image analysis presented in publications or fully automatic ones presented in . But still they are profiled to specific tasks and expected results.…”

The paper presents a new algorithm based on some selected automatic quantitative methods for analysing thermal images. It shows the practical implementation of these image analysis methods in Matlab. It enables to perform fully automated and reproducible measurements of selected parameters in thermal images. The paper also shows two examples of the use of the proposed image analysis methods for the area of the skin of a human foot and face. The full source code of the developed application is also provided as an attachment. The main window of the program during dynamic analysis of the foot thermal image.

“…The detection of temperature differences using ONCOSCAN was utilized as a substitute for breast biopsies for diagnosis.The readings obtained from the 130 subjects that were scanned indicated that the system had high predictive power when coupled with mammography. In 2004, Stec et al [ 36 ] developed a system to measure and model deep-seated temperature distributions in biological tissues by means of multi-frequency microwave thermography. The mapping of temperature variations as a function of depth obtained from this model was consistent with the findings of known physical models.…”

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer type and is the leading cause of cancer-related death among females worldwide. Breast screening and early detection are currently the most successful approaches for the management and treatment of this disease. Several imaging modalities are currently utilized for detecting breast cancer, of which microwave imaging (MWI) is gaining quite a lot of attention as a promising diagnostic tool for early breast cancer detection. MWI is a noninvasive, relatively inexpensive, fast, convenient, and safe screening tool. The purpose of this paper is to provide an up-to-date survey of the principles, developments, and current research status of MWI for breast cancer detection. This paper is structured into two sections; the first is an overview of current MWI techniques used for detecting breast cancer, followed by an explanation of the working principle behind MWI and its various types, namely, microwave tomography and radar-based imaging. In the second section, a review of the initial experiments along with more recent studies on the use of MWI for breast cancer detection is presented. Furthermore, the paper summarizes the challenges facing MWI as a breast cancer detection tool and provides future research directions. On the whole, MWI has proven its potential as a screening tool for breast cancer detection, both as a standalone or complementary technique. However, there are a few challenges that need to be addressed to unlock the full potential of this imaging modality and translate it to clinical settings.

“…Creation possibility of the single-frequency radiothermometer constructed according to the R. H. Dicke scheme which is inexpensive, small-sized, stable, highly sensitive device and consists of available microwave components is investigated in work [32]. Results of research in the field of creation of multi-channel and multi-frequency radiometers are presented in [30,31,[33][34][35][36][37][38]. Registration of information is carried out by a multi-channel radiometer with antennas tuned to different frequencies, or a single-channel multi-frequency radiometer.…”
