Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Breast Phantoms for Ultra-Wideband Microwave Imaging Applications
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research, Vol. 100, 397-415, 2010
Abstract
The paper discusses fabrication of homogenous and heterogeneous breast phantoms to simulate the dielectric properties of human breast over the microwave frequency range from 0.5 GHz to 13.5 GHz. The breast phantoms have stable mechanical configuration and dielectric properties suitable for microwave imaging experiments particularly ultra-wideband microwave imaging for breast cancer detection.
