Abstract

In this paper, we present preliminary outcomes derived from a series of multicentric clinical trials focusing on microwave breast imaging using MammoWave. Specifically, we investigate the use of information fusion, i.e. combining the outputs of multiple classifiers, thereby reducing uncertainty and improving the reliability of predictions. We found that, optimally weighting selected models for a weighted voting strategy, can reach a quite balanced performance in terms of sensitivity and specificity in breast cancer detection.
