Initial experimental study into the use of a planar Microwave Imaging System with Step-Frequency Synthesized Pulse for possible use in medical applications is described. Simple phantoms, consisting of a plastic container and objects with high dielectric constant or conductivity emulating tumours, are scanned with a probe antenna over a planar surface in the Xband frequency range. Successful detection of these objects is demonstrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
