Breast cancer imaging techniques using UWB microwave imaging

This paper proposes a method that combines a data-independent beamformer with Matrix Pencil (MP) method to take into consideration the morphological properties of the malignant tissue. The simulated results have shown the resonant frequency and damping factor of complex natural resonance (CNR) are capable of differentiating the malignant tissue from other significant interferers such as benign lesions. The investigations employed computational 2D breast models that are based on Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method.
