Abstract

A confocal microwave imaging implementation for breast cancer detection

Highlights

Breast cancer is an anxiety for many women
confocal microwave imaging (CMI) algorithm is based on image reconstruction using multiple signals collected from ultra wide band (UWB) antenna placed at different positions received from the surface of the breast [11,12,13,14,15]
We present an UWB antenna with a wide frequency band according to the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) standard

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Breast cancer is an anxiety for many women. Early diagnosis is the most important key for a fast and effective treatment before the increase of this disease in the whole body. The X-ray Mammography is the most technique used for breast cancer screening While this technique offers clear advantages, it generates a wide range of limitations and potential risks such as false positive and false negative results, painful breast compression and ionizing radiation. Microwave imaging is the golden diagnostic tool for medical imaging modality developed over the past few years. This technique offers many interesting advantages for breast cancer like low cost, non-invasive, more safety, and high accuracy [5,6,7,8,9,10]. We will explain the implementation of Confocal Microwave Imaging (CMI) Algorithm by moving a single antenna around the breast to reconstruct images with simulated data
