Experimental and numerical investigations of a High-resolution 3D microwave imaging system for breast cancer detection

In this paper, we have developed a prototype 3D microwave imaging system for breast cancer diagnosis and screening. This presentation will give an overview of the hardware development, forward electromagnetic wave propagation models, nonlinear inverse scattering algorithms for this 3D microwave imaging system. This high sensitivity enables the 3D system to collect accurate scattering data from small phantom tumors.
