چکیده
This paper addresses a novel microwave tomography method for the reconstruction of the dielectric properties of breast tissue using the percentage of the tissue water content. The reconstruction algorithm consists of a combination of a binary and a real Genetic Algorithm (GA).

Medical Applications of Microwave Imaging
Ultrawide band (UWB) microwave imaging is a promising method for the detection of early stage breast cancer, based on the large contrast in electrical parameters between malignant tumour tissue and the surrounding normal breast-tissue. In this paper, the detection and imaging of a malignant tumour are performed through a tomographic based microwave system and signal processing. Simulations of t...
متن کاملSolutions of inverse problems with potential application for breast tumour detection using microwave measurements
This paper presents one-dimensional and two-dimensional microwave inverse computing methods to detect an internal object using measurements based on a signal applied from the surface of the host material. The modelling of our application system has been aimed towards the in vivo detection of a breast tumour, in particular, and to enable the calculation of the tumour size and its distance from t...
متن کاملBreast Cancer Tumour Detection Using Microwave Radar Techniques
A breast cancer detection technique using multi-static radar is proposed herein. Images of a breast tumour are produced using this technique, with backscatter data. A wideband antenna design suitable for a breast cancer detection system is also described. Practical measurements are performed using a network analyser and a pair of antennas that are used to simulate an array. These initial images...
متن کاملMicrowave breast cancer detection via cost-sensitive ensemble classifiers: Phantom and patient investigation
Microwave breast screening has been proposed as a complementary modality to the current standard of X-ray mammography. In this work, we design three ensemble classification structures that fuse information from multiple sensors to detect abnormalities in the breast. A principled Neyman-Pearson approach is developed to allow control of the trade-off between false positive rate and the false nega...
متن کاملBreast Imaging Using Microwave Tomography with Radar-Based Tissue-Regions Estimation
Abstract—Microwave tomography (MWT) and a radar-based region estimation technique are combined to create a novel algorithm for biomedical imaging with a focus on breast cancer detection and monitoring. The region estimation approach is used to generate a patient-specific spatial map of the breast anatomy that includes skin, adipose and fibroglandular regions, as well as their average dielectric...
