  • Employed a time-domain global back projection technique for tomographic image reconstruction adapted for CSAR.
  • Conducted experiments using breast phantoms made of pork fat, simulating both normal and cancerous conditions.

    • Main Results:

    • Preliminary experimental results demonstrated successful microwave imaging of breast phantoms.
    • The UWB-CSAR system effectively detected the presence of simulated tumors within the phantoms.
    • The method showed capability in emulating cancerous conditions within the experimental setup.

    Conclusions:

    • UWB-CSAR is a viable and promising technique for breast tumor detection.
    • The UWB-CSAR method is a simple and low-cost approach to microwave breast imaging.
    • This technology shows significant potential for efficient and accessible cancer diagnostics.
