Investigation of dielectric properties for various size potential abnormality of breast tissues using non-ionizing microwave technique

Microwave imaging is a possible non-ionizing technique to complement existing ionizing mammogram that relies on significant contrast between dielectric properties of cancerous and normal tissues. Early detection of abnormalities in breast anatomy could be the warning sign to breast cancer. This allo...
