Abstract:
Breast cancer is the most crucial cancer type among all other cancer types. There are many imaging techniques used to screen breast carcinoma. These are mammography, ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, infrared imaging, positron emission tomography and electrical impedance tomography. However, there is no gold standard in breast carcinoma diagnosis. The object of this study is to create a hybrid system that uses thermal and electrical imaging methods together for breast cancer diagnosis. Body tissues have different electrical conductivity values depending on their stat

Abstract:
It is estimated that over half of current adults within Great Britain under the age of 65 will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lifetime. Medical Imaging forms an essential part of cancer clinical protocols and is able to furnish morphological, metabolic and functional information. The imaging of molecular interactions of biological processes in vivo with Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is informative not only for disease detection but also therapeutic response. The qualitative and quantitative accuracy of imaging is thus vital in the extraction of meaningful and reproducible

Abstract:
In ultrasound array imaging, the beamforming operation is performed by aligning and processing the received echo signals from each individual array element to form a complete image. This operation can be performed in many different ways, where adaptive and non-adaptive beamformers are considered as the main categories. Adaptive beamformers exploit the statistical correlation between the received data to find a weighting value at the focal point, instead of using a fixed weighting window in non-adaptive beamforming. This results in a significant improvement in the image quality in terms of reso

Abstract:
A "chirp" is a frequency modulated signal widely used in ultrasound imaging to increase the signal-to-noise ratio and penetration depth. In medical ultrasound imaging, resolution and penetration are two major criteria that are inversely proportional. Because of this inverse relation, short duration pulses cannot achieve a high resolution with good penetration. The reasons for this trade-off are the decrease in signal energy due to shorter pulse duration and the attenuation in tissue, which increases with the excitation frequency. The chirp coded excitation however can increase the total transm

Abstract:
In many medical imaging modalities, as photons travel from the emission source to the detector, they are scattered by the biological tissue. Often this scatter is viewed as a phenomenon that degrades image quality, and most research is focused on designing methods for either discarding the scattered photons or correcting for scatter. However, the scattered photons also carry information about the tissue that they pass through, which can perhaps be extracted. In this research, we investigate methods to retrieve information from the scattered photons in two specific medical imaging modalities:
