Title Development of active microwave imaging techniques for applications In mammograpy
 
Contributor Mathew, K T
 
Description Breast cancer is the most common cause of non-skin malignancy in women
and a leading cause offemale mortality. A potentially important strategy for
reducing this menace is the 'detection at an early stage. However,
conventional mammographic detection techniques have many drawbacks
and often cause harm to patients. The invention of non-invasive and nonionizing
microwave technique, to reveal the internal structure of biological
objects thus became a break through in the field of medical diagnostics.
When exposed to microwaves, breast tumor exhibits electrical properties that
are significantly different from that of healthy breast tissue and hence false
free detection of the tumor in terms of dielectric contrast is possible. An
introductory chapter which deals with various imaging techniques, their
advantages and disadvantages is given as Chapter 1 of this thesis. The
advantages of microwave imaging for breast cancer detection, its
classifications and the two approaches of active microwave imaging microwave
tomographic imaging with measured scattered signals and
confocal microwave imaging with measured reflected signals are also
addressed here.
