Additional information

In most countries, breast cancer is leading or second-leading cause of death in women aged 30-55. Traditional imaging modalities (e.g. X-ray) are widely-used for detecting early-stage breast cancer; however statistical evidence for their benefit is mixed and they are of little practical use for younger women. Microwave imaging has been proposed as alternative. Paper presents world's first workable experimental and clinical microwave-imaging system developed by Craddock's group. System is now in clinical trials funded by Micrima Ltd. [contact: CEO and Executive Chairman]. Paper is identified as research group highlight in REF5 and work forms significant part of [REF3b: Antennas].
