Breast Tumor Detection Ability Using aPlanar 2.45 GHz System

• This paper deals with the breast tumor detectionability of a planar microwave imaging system. Indeed, microwaveimaging seems to have a significant potential in such a biomedicalapplication. By means of a numerical model based upon electricfield volume integral equations, we investigate the influence ofseveral parameters, such as the respective sizes of the breastand the tumor, the operating frequency and the electromagneticproperties of the different media, on the detection ability. Thelatter is estimated by comparing the scattered fields observed inthe presence and in the absence of tumor and by accounting forthe signal to noise ratio available with the experimental setupdeveloped at the laboratory.
