Abstract :
Microwaves and millimeter waves have been used extensively to image dielectric bodies. The application of microwaves in biomedical imaging and diagnostics, however, remains a field with many uncharted territories. This article is an overview on medical imaging using microwave imaging for breast cancer and its challenges, hopes, and outlook.
