The primary aim of this project is to design a portable self-scanning device to check for breast abnormalities in women in the age group of 20 years and above to aid early detection of breast cancer. Breast cancer used to be a disease associated with women in the age group of 50 years and above. However, in the last decade there has been a considerable rise in the number of breast cancer cases in younger age groups (30-40 years). Also, most cancers tend to show no symptoms until a very advanced stage, after which the patient cannot be saved, and therefore early detection is the key to survival. Hence, there is a need for awareness regarding regular monitoring of breast tissue to identify abnormalities. As a part of the process, studies were conducted on the existing technologies used for initial scanning of breasts for cancer detection. Mammography is currently the gold standard for detection of cancer lesions in the breast tissue, after which the patient is sent for further confirmation tests. However, mammography is well suited for women in age groups of 50 years and above, as the breast tissue is not as dense as in the younger age groups, and the incidence of breast cancer is on the rise in the younger age group (30-40 years). Also, it tends to expose a healthy individual to the harmful X-rays. This project aimed at designing a device using a harmless technology that is equally effective in all age groups and can be used by women in the comfort of their homes as a part of the process of self-examination. This device would not only help women scan for abnormalities but also help them become aware of their bodies to identify these abnormalities.
