Holographic Microwave Induced Imaging System: A Numerical Study

Abstract

This paper presents a holographic microwave induced (HMI) imaging method based on microwave imaging and ultrasound imaging techniques to detect breast lesion. A numerical system, including a breast model and an HMI measurement model, is developed to investigate the feasibility of breast tumor detection. Results show that the small breast lesion can be clearly detected in the HMI images. The proposed framework has the potential to become a useful tool for breast lesion detection.
