Abstract
Early breast cancer diagnosis becomes a must in nowadays society, related to the fact that this osteophyl neoplasia is the most frequent cancer in the world. The environment, solar radiations, weather changes, the increasing number of endocrine modifications, iatrogen agression, stress, or even fashion, have undoubtful effects on women´s breasts health, too. Long term negative influence may appear due to invasive or even minim invasive cancer investigation techniques, so, alternative methods are continuously researched. As a stage in the implementation of a non-invasive microwaves technique for breast cancer diagnosis under research, meant to early uncover the developing malignant processes, we designed a 3D reconstruction process that we are extensively presenting in this paper. This reconstruction is a compulsory step previous to the tumor volumetric shape reconstruction, in order to be well positioned for further breast surgery, where our results could find a field of application.
