Holographic microwave imaging for medical applications
This paper presents a new 2D holographic microwave imaging array (HMIA) technique for medical imaging applications. The HMIA technique has been applied to early stage breast cancer detection and brain stroke detection. Computer models are developed to demonstrate the feasibility of detecting and localizing small brain strokes within a 2D numerical head model and breast tumours within a 3D numer...
متن کاملBreast cancer imaging: a new role of Tc-99m sestamibi prone scintimammography for diagnosisof breast cancer
Mammography remians the procedure of choice in screening asymptomatic women for breast cancer. However, in patients with symptoms, other types of imaging play an important role in the detection of malignancies. The high cost and lack of availability of PET and MRI largely precludes the use in this patient population. TI-201 is nbt the imaging agent of choice because of its wash-out and redistri...
متن کاملA Method for 3D Breast Cancer Imaging using Microwave Holography
This work describes a technique which has been developed for the detection and imaging of breast cancer tumours. It describes how 3D images can be reconstructed from 2D scalar intensity patterns, or holograms. An outline of the background theory in described followed by experimental results on paraffin wax breast phantoms Results demonstrate that this technique is capable of determining the loc...
متن کاملBasic Evaluation of Antennas Used in Microwave Imaging for Breast Cancer Detection
Microwave imaging is one of the most promising techniques in diagnosis and screening of breast cancer and in the medical field that currently under development. It is nonionizing, noninvasive, sensitive to tumors, specific to cancers, and low-cost. Microwave measurements can be carried out either in frequency domain or in time domain. In order to develop a clinically viable medical imaging syst...
متن کاملComputational Methods for Microwave Medical Imaging
Medical imaging methods have become increasingly important in diagnosing diseases and assisting therapeutic treatment. In particular, early detection of breast cancer is considered as a critical factor in reducing the mortality rate of women. Within the various alternative breast imaging modalities being investigated to improve breast cancer detection, microwave imaging is attractive due to the...
