A numerical study of planar elliptical antennas applied to ultrawideband (UWB) imaging of breast tissue
Brelum, Sindre Holsbøe (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2008-08)The thesis discusses the possibility of using ultrawideband (UWB) radar to detect breast cancer. At the present time, X-ray mammography and ultrasound are the golden standard imaging techniques for detection and evaluation of breast cancer, but they both have their limitations. UWB radar utilizes the difference in dielectric properties between a tumor and the surrounding healthy tissue. By interpreting ...
