description | This review evaluates the methods used for image quality analysis and tumour detection in experimental breast microwave sensing (BMS), a developing technology being investigated for breast cancer detection. This article examines the methods used for image quality analysis and the estimated diagnostic performance of BMS for image-based and machine-learning tumour detection approaches. The majority of image analysis performed in BMS has been qualitative and existing quantitative image quality metrics aim to describe image contrast—other aspects of image quality have not been addressed. Image-based diagnostic sensitivities between 63 and 100% have been achieved in eleven trials, but only four articles have estimated the specificity of BMS. The estimates range from 20 to 65%, and do not demonstrate the clinical utility of the modality. Despite over two decades of research in BMS, significant challenges remain that limit the development of this modality as a clinical tool. The BMS community should utilize consistent image quality metric definitions and include image resolution, noise, and artifacts in their analyses. Future work should include more robust metrics, estimates of the diagnostic specificity of the modality, and machine-learning applications should be used with more diverse datasets and with robust methodologies to further enhance BMS as a viable clinical technique. |
