Initial study for detection of multiple lymph nodes in the axillary region using Microwave Imaging

Breast cancer staging largely depends on the evaluation of whether there are cancer cells in the axillary lymph nodes. This work proposes a non-invasive method of detecting metastases in the lymph nodes using an Ultra-Wideband Microwave Imaging radar system. Energy profiles of the axilla are created with this system in which high energy regions may indicate the presence of metastasised lymph nodes.
