A Wireless Testbed Development for a Telediagnosis and Telemammography Network

Abstract

In this research training program undergraduates in electrical and computer engineering learning the role of engineering in the cure of breast cancer specifically developing communications networks and imaging processing techniques for the early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. Providing mammographic services to women in underserved areas via telemammography is very important. With remote computer-aided breast cancer detection and diagnosis it has the advantage of higher penetration of women for cancer screening. Through this training program the trainees learn the process of breast cancer diagnosis and the role of mammography understand the role of wireless communications in telemammographic services.
