چکیده
Microwave imaging is one of the most promising techniques in diagnosis and screening of breast cancer and in the medical field that currently under development. It is nonionizing, noninvasive, sensitive to tumors, specific to cancers, and low-cost. Microwave measurements can be carried out either in frequency domain or in time domain. In order to develop a clinically viable medical imaging system, it is important to understand the characteristics of the microwave antenna. In this paper we investigate some antenna characteristics and discuss limitations of existing and proposed systems.

متن کاملNovel Multistatic Adaptive Microwave Imaging Methods for Early Breast Cancer Detection
Multistatic adaptive microwave imaging (MAMI) methods are presented and compared for early breast cancer detection. Due to the significant contrast between the dielectric properties of normal and malignant breast tissues, developing microwave imaging techniques for early breast cancer detection has attracted much interest lately. MAMI is one of the microwave imaging modalities and employs multi...
متن کاملMicrowave Imaging: Research in Alternative Medical Imaging Modalities
Microwave imaging is an alternate breast cancer detection technique that uses microwaves to generate images based on di erences in permittivity and conductivity. The large di erences in permittivity and conductivity between normal and malignant breast tissue should allow for more reliable detection of breast cancer as opposed to conventional X-ray techniques. This project aims to develop a 3-D ...
متن کاملA Miniaturized CPW-Fed Tapered Slot Antenna in Lossy Environment for UWB Application in Breast Cancer Detection
In this paper, a miniaturized coplanar waveguide fed (CPW-fed) tapered slot antenna (TSA) is introduced for breast cancer detection. Here, a modified CPW to slot-line transition structure with an air-bridge is employed to broaden the transition bandwidth and increase the radiation efficiency. Through these applied modifications, negative features of the original TSA (limitation of transition) a...
متن کاملA Data Focusing method for Microwave Imaging of Extended Targets
This paper presents a data focusing method (DFM) to image extended targets using the multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm. The restriction on the number of transmitter-receiver antennas in a microwave imaging system deteriorates profiling an extended target that comprises many point scatterers. Under such situation, the subspace-based linear inverse scattering methods, like the MUSI...
