Medical diagnosis of tissue anomalies, particularly cancer, is often limited by the constraints of current imaging technologies. This book introduces two approaches to address this issue: the imaging and the non-imaging methods. In the imaging category, the book unveils a pioneering technique based on radio tomosynthesis. Initially proven effective in detecting breast anomalies, this imaging method is now under evaluation for its potential in identifying brain anomalies. For non-imaging diagnostics, it delves into Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), a technique known for its speed and reliability. The book demonstrates its successful application in diagnosing a range of cancers, including oral, uterine, ovarian, gastrointestinal, colorectal, and skin cancers. Furthermore, it explores its utility in predicting embryo quality and assessing pressure injuries. To augment these methods, the book employs machine learning algorithms, evaluating their efficacy in creating discriminative models for tissue anomalies.
