Recent Advances in Microwave Imaging for Breast Cancer Detection

Recent Advances in Microwave Imaging for Breast Cancer Detection

Breast cancer is a disease that occurs most often in female cancer patients. Early detection can significantly reduce the mortality rate. Microwave breast imaging, which is noninvasive and harmless to human, offers a promising alternative method to mammography. This paper presents a review of recent...

In the time-domain measurement system, scan time would take less than 1 sec, and it does not require very expensive equipment such as VNA.http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2016/5054912
