    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Biophysics
    • Microwave Engineering

    Background:

    • X-ray computed tomography (CT) is a standard medical imaging modality.
    • Microwave imaging offers potential advantages due to differential tissue absorption properties.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a novel computed tomography system utilizing microwaves.
    • To assess the feasibility of microwave CT for medical imaging applications, particularly mammography.

    Main Methods:

    • A laboratory-based rotate-translate scanner was adapted for microwave CT.
    • Collimated microwaves at 10.5 GHz were used as the radiation source.
    • Impedance matching was achieved by immersing the apparatus in a fluid tank.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Spatial resolution of approximately 2 cm was achieved with various phantoms.
    • The system demonstrated the capability to generate tomographic images.

    Conclusions:

    • Microwave computed tomography is a viable imaging technique with potential for medical applications.
    • The technique shows promise for mammography due to selective absorption by fatty and non-fatty tissues.
