Abstract
In microwave radiometry for early detection of breast malignancy a contacting antenna is scanned on the breast surface, while a pressure is exercised along with a deformation. Assuming the antenna at lower temperature than the breast, the results of a numerical modeling show an interesting increase in tumor radiometric visibility.
