Background Tissue dielectric properties are specific to physiological changes and
consequently have been pursued as imaging biomarkers of cancer and other pathological …

The efficacy of emerging microwave breast cancer detection and treatment techniques will
depend, in part, on the dielectric properties of normal breast tissue. However, knowledge of …

Prior information about the average dielectric properties of breast tissue can be
implemented in microwave breast imaging techniques to improve the results. Rapidly …

We have used open-ended coaxial probes to determine the dielectric properties of freshly
excised normal and diseased breast tissue specimens. The considerable variability in size …

Electromagnetic (EM) medical technologies are rapidly expanding worldwide for both
diagnostics and therapeutics. As these technologies are low-cost and minimally invasive …

This work investigates the in vivo dielectric properties of healthy and benign rat mammary
tissues in an attempt to expand the dielectric property knowledge of animal models. The …

The development of microwave breast cancer detection and treatment techniques has been
driven by reports of substantial contrast in the dielectric properties of malignant and normal …

Electromagnetic (EM) breast imaging provides low-cost, safe and potentially a more specific
modality for cancer detection than conventional imaging systems. A primary difficulty in …

Knowledge of the dielectric properties of human tissues is important for several biomedical
applications, including imaging and hyperthermia treatment, as well as for determining …
