Abstract :
Microwave detection of the abnormally developing tissue structure is a new noninvasive technique, using human body emission radiometry. The research is discussing practical aspects of implementing this type of early breast cancer detection. A special software have been implemented in order to map the measured values and to constitute a microwave image data base. The patient anamnesis is stored together with the images at each stage of the medical diagnosis and survey.
