Quantitative Microwave Imaging for Breast Cancer Detection Using a Planar 2.45 GHz System

• Microwave imaging is recognized as a potentialcandidate for biomedical applications, such as breast tumordetection. In this context a planar microwave camera isinvestigated for quantitative imaging of inhomogeneous objects.Promising simulation results indicates that the planar geometryis suitable for quantitative imaging, as long as the signal to noiseratio is higher than 40 dB. Different calibration techniques arediscussed with several proposed model improvements and thefirst reconstructed quantitative image of an inhomogeneous 2Dobject is obtained by using experimental data from the camera.
