| Research Abstract |
We have developed a microwave imaging technique for detection of early breast cancer. A breast is irradiated with a microwave pulse and the scattered pulses are collected at receiving points located around the breast. By processing the measured scattering data with computers, the internal structure of the breast is imaged and the size, shape and location of tumor are identified. Numerical simulations show that the developed imaging technique can detect tumor of 5 mm in diameter. A breast phantom and a prototype antenna array for measurement were also made.
