In the present thesis, it was developed an automatic acquisition system aimed at the study of
microwave breast imaging. Starting from an existing system, it was created a mechanical …

The incidence rate of breast cancer is the highest of any cancer among women in the United
States, and its mortality rate is second only to lung cancer. It is well known that early …

This work concerns the microwave imaging (MWI) for breast cancer. The full process to
develop an experimental phantom is detailed. The models used in the simulation stage are …

In this paper, a new set of tumour phantoms for the experimental evaluation of Microwave
Breast Imaging (MBI) as a method to diagnose breast cancer is presented. The phantoms …

Nowadays, the application of microwave imaging for breast cancer diagnosis has expanded
as an alternative method to traditional mammography. In fact, the use of electromagnetic …

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 …

Microwave tomography has gained an increasing attention as a tool for breast cancer
screening, owing to its potential capability of providing a quantitative estimation of the …

Microwave imaging is an efficient diagnostic modality for non-invasively visualizing dielectric
properties of non-metallic bodies. An increasing interest of this field has been observed …

Microwave imaging has grown in recent years as a promising technique for breast cancer
detection. Its physical principle exploits the different characteristics of normal and tumoral …

This paper presents the Wavelia microwave breast imaging system that has been recently
installed at the Galway University Hospital, Ireland, for a first-in-human pilot clinical test …
