The contrast in complex permittivities between normal and abnormal colon tissues presented here for the first time demonstrate the potential of these measurements for tissue classification. It also opens the door to the development of a microwave endoscopic device to complement the outcomes of colonoscopy with functional tissue information.
Microwave tomography is proposed for medical diagnosis using Magnitude Combined tomographic algorithm. A proof-of-concept experimental system was build and an in-homogeneous breast phantom with a tumor embedded was successfully reconstructed in less than 30 seconds per frequency. The motivation for this study is the future development of an imaging prototype for head imaging.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
