This study presents a microwave imaging system for mapping dielectric properties of tissues. The system successfully reconstructed small inclusions in simulated and experimental data, demonstrating its potential for medical imaging.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Electromagnetics
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Accurate imaging of heterogeneous media is crucial for medical diagnostics.
  • Current methods may lack the resolution for detecting small tissue variations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an integrated microwave imaging system for spatial mapping of dielectric properties.
  • To assess the system's capability in reconstructing small inclusions in human breast tissue models.

Main Methods:

  • An 800-1200 MHz microwave imaging system with 16 antennas was utilized.
  • A Newton iterative reconstruction algorithm with Marquardt-Tikhonov regularization was implemented.
  • Finite element method with specific boundary conditions was used for electromagnetic field computation.

Main Results:

  • The system quantitatively reconstructed inclusions in a 76 mm diameter background medium from both simulated and experimental data.
  • Smallest resolvable inclusion diameter was 14 mm for experimental data and 10 mm for simulated data.
  • The system demonstrated accurate spatial mapping of dielectric properties.

Conclusions:

  • The developed microwave imaging system shows promise for quantitative imaging of heterogeneous biological tissues.
  • The system's resolution is sufficient for characterizing clinically relevant inclusions.
  • Further refinement may improve the detection of even smaller structures.
