Research Abstract

Microwave Computer Tomography (CT) for medical diagnostics and nondestructive inspection is developed by using technologies of mobile phone and wireless communication devices. Antennas and main-circuits are made of low-priced electrical devices for mobile phone. Experimental data of a breast cancer model quantitatively agrees with FDTD simulation. A radar pulse technique and High Performance Computing (HPC) are installed to the microwave system in order to reduce calculation time of CT reconstruction.
