Additional information

Microwave imaging has been proposed for breast-cancer detection but only relatively simple homogeneous-breast phantoms have been previously considered. Paper presents, for first time, experimental work on microwave breast-cancer imaging using inhomogeneous-breast phantoms. It showed that breast heterogeneity is limiting factor in radar-based imaging. Work was instrumental in development of prototype system by Micrima Ltd. (currently in clinical trials [contact: CEO and Executive Chairman]) with increased number of antennas for higher spatial diversity during imaging. Even now these are the most-complex imaging scenarios ever considered in microwave imaging. Paper is identified as research group highlight in REF5.
