  • Abstract
    There is a need for novel breast cancer detection systems to overcome the limitations with today´s modalities. Microwave based system has the potential to become both sensitive and specific in this application. We have studied and evaluated a possible design for a clinical system as well as developed an accurate image reconstruction algorithm to work with this system.
