Wireless Sensor Enabled Breast Self-Examination Assistance to Detect Abnormality

Breast tumor is the most common reason of death amid women throughout the world from last several years. Early identification and exact treatment of tumor will increase the survival rate of patient as per medical statistics. Many clinical examinations like mammography, thermography, MRI, ultrasound, biopsy is available to detect breast abnormality. However, experts suggest periodic breast self-examination as a primary tool to detect breast abnormality rather than ionic, expensive clinical screening tests. But due to lack of knowledge on breast self-examination procedure, women undergo uncomfortable physical examination. In this paper, we propose a non-ionic, comfortable, low-cost wireless sensor enabled breast self-examination assistance model to detect breast abnormality.
