Breast cancer is the leading cause of death among females, early diagnostic methods with suitable treatments improve the 5-year survival rates significantly. Microwave breast imaging has been reported as the most potential to become the alternative or additional tool to the current gold standard X-ray mammography for detecting breast cancer. The microwave breast image quality is affected by the microwave sensor, sensor array, the number of sensors in the array and the size of the sensor. In fact, microwave sensor array and sensor play an important role in the microwave breast imaging system. Numerous microwave biosensors have been developed for biomedical applications, with particular focus on breast tumor detection. Compared to the conventional medical imaging and biosensor techniques, these microwave sensors not only enable better cancer detection and improve the image resolution, but also provide attractive features such as label-free detection. This paper aims to provide an overview of recent important achievements in microwave sensors for biomedical imaging applications, with particular focus on breast cancer detection. The electric properties of biological tissues at microwave spectrum, microwave imaging approaches, microwave biosensors, current challenges and future works are also discussed in the manuscript.

[4][5][6] Compared with the X-ray source used in X-ray imaging technology and X-ray computed tomography (X-CT) technology, the UWB microwave signal does little harm to human body. The ionizing radiation of X-ray can penetrate the cells, destroy the DNA structure of the cells, even induce the cell canceration, and do great harm to human body.…”

For the brain tumor, early diagnosis and treatment are particularly important. Also the tumor detection and imaging technology with high accuracy is required. Thus, the forward high-precision symplectic finite-difference timedomain (SFDTD) algorithm is proposed to calculate the propagation characteristics of ultrawide-band microwave signal in brain tissue with tumor. Using its advantages of high precision and numerical stability, the SFDTD algorithm can provide a theoretical reference for antenna design and optimization in real brain tumor imaging and detection system. Meanwhile, the inverse beam forming imaging algorithm is proposed to detect the location and size of the brain tumor. The imaging results are compared with preset tumor position and size to prove the correctness of the SFDTD algorithm and the BF algorithm. As a result, this article provides the theoretical reference for brain tumor detection equipment with parameter design and imaging algorithm.

Globally, breast cancer is reported as a primary cause of death in women. More than 1.8 million new breast cancer cases are diagnosed every year. Because of the current limitations on clinical imaging, researchers are motivated to investigate complementary tools and alternatives to available techniques for detecting breast cancer in earlier stages. This article presents a review of concepts and electromagnetic techniques for microwave breast imaging. More specifically, this work reviews ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna sensors and their current applications in medical imaging, leading to breast imaging. We review the use of UWB sensor based microwave energy in various imaging applications for breast tumor related diseases, tumor detection, and breast tumor detection. In microwave imaging, the back-scattered signals radiating by sensors from a human body are analyzed for changes in the electrical properties of tissues. Tumorous cells exhibit higher dielectric constants because of their high water content. The goal of this article is to provide microwave researchers with in-depth information on electromagnetic techniques for microwave imaging sensors and describe recent developments in these techniques.
