Radiophysicists' method will increase detection of early-stage breast
TSU Faculty of Radiophysics scientists have proposed a new approach for detecting small-sized breast cancers with microwave radio waves. The method will increase the likelihood of detecting tumors at an early stage without ionizing X-rays. An article on the study was published by the prestigious journal Medical Physics.
The TSU Department of Radiophysics has been researching radiowave tomography for more than 20 years. Back in the early 2000s, Professor Vladimir Yakubov formulated the principles of focusing radio waves to search for hidden objects, and they were taken as a basis for the search for tumors in biological tissues. Work in this area began three years ago. Since then, scientists have come a long way - from computer modeling of radiowave propagation processes in highly absorbing media to the creation of a laboratory facility for the automated sounding of phantoms (artificial analogs) of the mammary gland.
