Abstract :
In this paper, the E-Pulse technique has been successfully applied on breast tumor detection. Numerical examples on a breast model with dispersive dielectric properties demonstrated that the E-Pulse technique can be applied to the problem. Introduction of the skin layer into the breast model and the inhomogeneous properties of the breast tissue would be the subject of further investigations
