Microwave Imaging (MI) of breast cancer is an emerging non-invasive and non-ionizing technique for breast cancer diagnosis based on microwave radiation backscattered by breast tissues. Usually, MBI explore dielectric properties of breast tissues to increase the imaging contrast between tumor and healthy tissue through an Inverse Image Reconstruction Algorithm. Furthermore, MBI systems could be cost-effectively, compact and recent developments drive them to wearable soon. Even X-ray Mammography is the gold-standard for imaging tumors inside breast; it still is low contrast for early diagnostic, painful and age- and dose-restricted because ionizing radiation. Then, in long-term, our group is motivated to develop MBI technique and cost-effectively wearable systems for in vivo early diagnos... view more»
