- *Abstract
-
Conventionally, there are many common techniques/mechanisms available for breast cancer detection. However, these techniques are associated with one or more limitations such as homogenous uniform background, use of fixed di-electric constant for each tissue type, low radiological contrast between fibrous and cancerous tissue, and elevated acquisition time for imaging signals. This invention relates to a novel and hybrid microwave near-field radar imaging (NRI) system incorporating a digital-breast tomosynthesis (DBT) mechanism for non-invasive detection of breast cancer.
