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 …

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 …

Background Despite the high incidence of breast cancer worldwide, methods for early non‐
invasive diagnosis and sensitive and specific prognostic evaluation remain difficult. In this …

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

Objective: Microwave breast imaging has seen significant academic and commercial
development in recent years, with four new operational microwave imaging systems used …

This paper presents a review of the dielectric properties of normal and malignant breast
tissues for radio through microwave frequencies, as well as a brief summary of the …

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

Here we investigated the feasibility of using microwave spectroscopy for characterization of
normal and breast cancer cell lines cultured in vitro. Healthy non-tumorigenic, MCF-10A and …

In this paper, the preparation and the measurement of a set of human breast phantoms for
microwave breast imaging (MBI) as a method of tumor detection are presented. The …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: We have developed a microwave tomography system for
experimental breast imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this article, we illustrate a …
