Cancer is one of the diseases which cause the highest death rate in XXI century. However, through years techniques and equipment used to fight with this disease improved there are still many opportunity to get better results. Nowadays, the attention is focused on precise cancerous cells place estimation. It is important for effective cancer treatment, but also it allows diminishing the unwanted effects as destruction of healthy cells. One of the promising techniques in obtaining better spatial and temporal resolution of the internal of the human body is the photoacoustic imaging. Combination of the acoustics, ultrasounds or microwaves by the set of ultrasonic detectors can lead to estimation of the localization of the sources of the waves. The work presents the utilization of the multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm in estimation of angle and distance of microwave or photoacoustic waves sources. The technique presented in the work allows for better prediction of localization of the sources of the detected waves by the sensors array. The proposed application of his technique is detection of sentinel lymph nodes.
