Abstract

Early screening of breast cancer using new medical imaging technologies can reduce the number of deaths among women. This paper presents a description of the state of the art of the most propagated types of carcinoma in women, as well as the concept and process of cancer cell growth, and the application of more recent imaging modalities for early breast cancer detection. We also present the contribution of our research laboratory to the development of a new embedded thermography system based on innovative technologies.
