Özet:

Breast cancer leads to fatal consequences in women if not detected early. The early diagnosis of this cancer allows the treatment to be positive and the cancer to be intervened before it grows. Diagnosis of this cancer with traditional methods such as MR imaging and tomography is a very costly process. In recent years, microstrip patch antennas have been widely used for the development of lower cost and high sensitivity methods for mass detection. Microstrip antennas are finding an increasing place in the medical field, mostly in imaging, diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Antenna is an important component for detecting abnormality in biological signals and its working resonance regions differ according to the dielectric levels of tissues in the body. In this study, specific applications of microstrip antenna in microwave chest imaging are covered. Traditional methods for breast cancer detection, such as X-ray mammography, ultrasound, and MRI, have some limitations such as cost, large volume, high radiation. In contrast, Microwave Breast Imaging (MBI) plays an accurate and safer role for regular breast screening of breast tissues. For this purpose, microwave patch antenna applications in the literature and antenna types and efficiencies offered for the diagnosis of breast cancer were compared.
