An Ultra Wideband Microwave Imaging System for Breast Cancer Detection
An experimental study concerning Ultra Wideband (UWB) Microwave Radar for breast cancer detection is described. A simple phantom, consisting of a cylindrical plastic container with low dielectric constant material imitating fatty tissues and a high dielectric constant object emulating tumour, is scanned with a tapered slot UWB probe antenna between 3.1 to 10.6 GHz. Different calibration schemes...
متن کاملActive Microwave Imaging for Breast Cancer Detection
Active microwave imaging is explored as an imaging modality for early detection of breast cancer. When exposed to microwaves, breast tumor exhibits electrical properties that are significantly different from that of healthy breast tissues. The two approaches of active microwave imaging — confocal microwave technique with measured reflected signals and microwave tomographic imaging with measured...
متن کاملConformal Microwave Imaging for Breast Cancer Detection
An important feature of our Gauss–Newton iterative scheme for microwave breast image reconstruction is that only the heterogeneous target zone within the antenna array is represented using the finite-element method, while the surrounding homogeneous coupling medium is modeled with the boundary-element (BE) method. The interface between these two zones may be arbitrary in shape and position with...
متن کاملMicrowave Imaging via Adaptive Beamforming Methods for Breast Cancer Detection
Ultra-wideband (UWB) Microwave imaging (MWI) is a promising breast cancer detection technology which exploits the significant contrast in dielectric properties between normal breast tissue and tumor. Previously, data-independent methods, such as delay-and-sum (DAS) and space-time (ST) beamforming, have been used for microwave imaging. However, the low resolution and the poor interference suppre...
متن کاملRecent Advances in Microwave Imaging for Breast Cancer Detection
Breast cancer is a disease that occurs most often in female cancer patients. Early detection can significantly reduce the mortality rate. Microwave breast imaging, which is noninvasive and harmless to human, offers a promising alternative method to mammography. This paper presents a review of recent advances in microwave imaging for breast cancer detection. We conclude by introducing new resear...
