“…Breast cancer is a serious health issue for women [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]; however, with early cancer detection there are great chances of survival. X-RAY mammography [2] is the most common technology used in breast cancer detection, creating images of cancerous breast using ionizing radiation, with cancerous tissues located for further treatment.…”

“…However, the limitations of X-RAY mammography [3], such as a number of falsenegative results have resulted in research into microwave imaging based breast cancer detection. Microwave imaging based breast cancer detection relies on high differences in electromagnetic properties between healthy and cancerous tissues [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Radar based imaging originates from groundpenetrating radar (GPR) and was proposed for breast cancer detection in 1996 by Benjamin [6].…”

Radar based microwave imaging system is proposed and used for breast cancer detection. Tumour location can be detected based on high dielectric differences between tumour and surrounding tissues. In clinical medicine, malignant tumour usually has more irregular morphology than benign tumour. However, previous work has ignored the discrimination between benign and malignant tumours, and this issue is solved in our work. In this paper, two major novel contributions are presented. Firstly, a complex natural responses (CNRs) method is proposed for discrimination between the benign and malignant tumours. The CNRs of the tumour show a unique feature that the CNRs only depend on the morphological appearance of the tumour. Simulation results show that the use of the CNRs can successfully discriminate between a 5 mm radius spherical benign tumour and a 5 mm average radius malignant tumour with a spiculated periphery. Secondly, microwave images of the benign and malignant tumours are created by a proposed mono-static imaging system which uses a single Vivaldi antenna to scan the breast. Both benign and malignant tumour positions can be correctly indicated from the images.

“…One of such developments has been presented in paper [6], the authors have developed a wide-band thin-film antenna coordinated with the multilayered structure of biological tissue. In article [7], authors have presented an antenna at the open end of the waveguide that meets the frequency requirements and can be used in microwave diagnostics of breast cancer.…”

“…This problem restricts the practical application of radiothermometry in diagnosis. Since only a qualitative determination of the presence of an anomaly without accurate quantitative characteristics is possible, the method is most widely used for the diagnosis of breast cancer [3,[6][7][8]. The mammary gland in terms of electrophysical properties is a homogeneous area.…”

In this paper, a modern and effective approach with high resilience for microwave imaging of breast tumor detection using 12 antennas is presented. The proposed antenna array operates from 3.1 GHz to 11.6 GHz according to FCC frequencies, which enables the imaging system to mix two advantages at the same time, deep penetration, and high resolution for accurate image acquisition. The suggested antenna array has a compact size of 21 × 21 × 12 cm3, this allows for the integration of as many elements as feasible, provided that the coupling between them remains within an acceptable range. This ensures improved accuracy and resolution in the resulting image. The 3D system is arranged in a circular manner around the phantom to cover all breast positions. A measurement campaign will then be made in different scenarios to detect the tumor using two artificial breasts with and without tumor, their dielectric properties and physiological arrangement approximate those of a natural breast. The proposed microwave imaging system can detect and identify all targets, making it one of the most effective systems for detecting breast tumors.
