An Introduction to Microwave Imaging for Breast Cancer Detection

An Introduction to Microwave Imaging for Breast Cancer Detection is a monograph that collates research on microwave imaging as an emerging modality for detecting breast cancer. The text evaluates how microwave systems can function as standalone tools or alongside established methods to provide safe, comfortable, and low-cost examinations.

The volume covers the physical principles of the modality, beginning with breast anatomy and the contrast in tissue dielectric properties at microwave frequencies. It examines computational methods including radar-based imaging and microwave tomographic reconstruction algorithms.

A central feature of the work is its survey of prototype microwave breast imaging systems, focusing specifically on prototypes that have reached clinical evaluation.
