  • Abstract
    This paper extends previous work on a hybrid Digital-Breast-Tomosynthesis (DBT) and microwave Nearfield Radar Imaging (NRI) technique for detecting breast cancer to three dimensions. By using the DBT image to generate a background distribution of the tissues within the breast, the NRI algorithm is able to effectively image cancerous tumors within the breast.
