Dielectric Characterization of Small Breast Biopsy Via Miniaturized Open-Ended Coaxial Probe

The classification between normal and malignant tissues based on the use of an open-ended coaxial probe reveals an advantageous rapid support to traditional biopsy. The present work proposes an assessment of small biopsy breast dielectric characterization with our custom-designed open-ended coaxial probe. To this end, this study was accomplished by means of numerical simulations; results were confirmed by experimental measurements, performed at the University Hospital in Toledo.
