Microwave breast cancer screening system

Abstract

A microwave-based breast cancer screening and early diagnostics imaging system is provided. The microwave-based breast cancer screening and early diagnostics imaging system uses mild compression to electromagnetically homogenize the heterogeneous breast media or, to some degree, decrease the breast dimension to 2D. The device is capable of providing multi-angle examination, if necessary, and produces horizontal and vertical cross-sectional images based on the polarization of the antennas used for scanning. Merging two-sectional images can give a possibility of 3D microwave representation of the breast tissue that allows identification of the malignant/cancerous/harmful tissues/cells through cross validation.
