Introduction

Despite the good prognosis when diagnosed early, breast cancer is one
of the most fatal forms of cancer for women. Breast cancer can target
all women, regardless of social class. The availability of effective
methods for the detection and classification of breast lesions can
determine mortality. Imaging diagnosis is still one of the most
efficient ways to detect early breast changes, among the techniques
most used is mammography. However, there are other techniques that
have emerged as alternatives or even complementary tests in the early
detection of breast lesions, e.g. breast thermography and electrical
impedance tomography. Artificial Intelligence can be used to optimize
image diagnosis, increasing the reliability of the reports and
supporting professionals who do not have enough knowledge or
experience to make good diagnoses. In this book we propose to present
a review of the physiology and anatomy of the breast; the dynamics of
breast cancer; principles of pattern recognition, artificial neural
networks and computer graphics; and the breast imaging techniques and
computational methods to support and optimize the diagnosis.
