Development of Clinically Informed 3-D Tumor Models for Microwave Imaging Applications

In this letter, a novel method for the generation of numerical 3-D clinically informed breast tumor models for microwave imaging applications is proposed, which greatly enhances flexibility in creating clinically realistic models. The proposed method was clinically validated through collaboration with breast cancer clinicians and conforms to the BI-RADS labeling standards. Moreover, the issue of clinically accurate tumor positioning within existing breast models is also addressed.
