Detectability of Breast Tumors in Excised Breast Tissues of Total Mastectomy by IR-UWB-Radar-Based Breast Cancer Detector |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
The objective of this study is to investigate the detectability of breast tumors having various histological types in excised breast tissues of total mastectomy. The tumor images measured by a portable impulse-radio-ultra-wideband (IR-UWB)-radar-based breast cancer detector are compared with both pathological images and images of dedicated breast positron emission tomography (DbPET). It is found that the detector can detect invasive-ductal-carcinomas (IDC) and extensive intra-ductal component (EIC) in the dense breast. The density of the breast has correlation to the effective permittivity derived from the reconstructed confocal images. The results show that the IR-UWB-radar-based breast cancer detector has a potential as a portable modality for early-stage breast cancer screening. |
