Abstract
For early detection of breast cancer, ultrawideband microwave imaging techniques, among others, are a useful tool. This paper presents some of our numerical results showing the formation of Brillouin precursors from the back-scattered components of the microwave electromagnetic waves propagating through both normal and malignant breast tissues. The advantageous nature of these precursors is also highlighted.
