Abstract
The research described in this paper is aimed at modeling tumors in breast tissue as buried dielectric targets so that their complex natural resonances (CNR) can be identified and correlated with clinically useful properties. FDTD simulation and Prony´s method are used to demonstrate the approach numerically. The technique is proposed as a modality complementary to ultrasound tumor detection.
