Breast cancer remains one of the leading causes death among women globally. Early detection is critical for improving patient outcomes, making development accurate and efficient methods essential facilitating timely treatment enhancing patients’ quality life. Lesion sites are often associated with localized temperature increases, which can be identified by characterizing thermal gradients using thermometry tools. Ultrasound-based techniques preferred obtaining patterns due to their noninvasive, non-ionizing nature cost-effectiveness compared like magnetic resonance imaging. This study focuses on developing breast tissue models varying acoustic properties, specifically speed sound across temperatures ranging from 32 °C 36 in increments 0.5 ultrasonic inspection diagnostic applications. These simulate healthy tumorous tissue, including fat, gland, tumor layers. Signal variations were analyzed cross-correlation assess changes as a function temperature. The proposed methodology offers cost-effective, rapid, precise approach phantom production, intervals through analysis acquired signals.
