Abstract
Breast cancer is a common disease among women and death figure is continuing to increase. Early breast cancer detection is very important. Ultra wide-band (UWB) is the promising candidate for short communication applications. This paper presents the performance of different types of UWB antennas for breast cancer detection. Two types of antennas are used i.e: UWB pyramidal antenna and UWB horn antenna. These antennas are used to transmit and receive the UWB signal. The collected signals are fed into developed neural network module to measure the performance efficiency of each antenna. The average detection efficiency is 88.46% and 87.55% for UWB pyramidal antenna and UWB horn antenna respectively. These antennas can be used to detect breast cancer in the early stage and save precious lives.
Highlights
Breast cancer cases are increasing year by year. 100,000 cancer cases are reported every year in Malaysia
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan is done by constructing images of the internal breast structure
2.3 Neural Network The 82 data samples are collected for Ultra wide-band (UWB) pyramidal antenna (41 data samples) and UWB horn antenna (41 data samples). 41 data samples were divided into two groups
Summary
Breast cancer cases are increasing year by year. 100,000 cancer cases are reported every year in Malaysia. The available breast cancer detection methods are mammography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound. A wrong detection can make patient undergo some painful diagnose process This traditional equipment are only available in some of the clinics and hospitals because they are very expensive [9,10]. The patient needs to go to the specific hospital for their check-up These types of screening systems are not advisable to use regularly due to their side effects. To overcome the above shortcomings, researchers have been proposed new breast cancer detection system using microwave based UWB imaging technology. Some researchers have proposed to use artificial intelligence (AI) to analyse the received UWB signal for early tumor detection [4,12,16]. The performance of two types of antennas (wearable UWB pyramidal antenna and UWB horn antenna) are analysed to detect the breast cancer
