  • Title: Breast tumor detection using UWB circular-SAR tomographic microwave imaging.
    Author: Oloumi D, Boulanger P, Kordzadeh A, Rambabu K.
    Journal: Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc; 2015; 2015():7063-6. PubMed ID: 26737919.
    Abstract:
    This paper describes the possibility of detecting tumors in human breast using ultra-wideband (UWB) circular synthetic aperture radar (CSAR). CSAR is a subset of SAR which is a radar imaging technique using a circular data acquisition pattern. Tomographic image reconstruction is done using a time domain global back projection technique adapted to CSAR. Experiments are conducted on a breast phantoms made of pork fat emulating normal and cancerous conditions. Preliminary experimental results show that microwave imaging of a breast phantom using UWB-CSAR is a simple and low-cost method, efficiently capable of detecting the presence of tumors.
