Computer Aided System for Breast Mass Detection and Analysis in Microwave Tomography

In this paper, we describe the developing software for breast mass detection and analysis in microwave tomography (MT) as a preliminary study. Our software consists of preprocessing, segmentation, registration, and feature extraction module. In particular, we generated a new template image based on MT to transform individual breast images into a standard anatomical coordinate space. We tested our software on the breast phantom images which were reconstructed from ETRI MT system. The result showed the feasibility of using our software as a computer aided system.
