Abstract :
A microwave mammography for clinical test was developed, and our first clinical test was successfully carried out. The equipment is based on multi-static UWB radar, which features are MS-MIST algorithm for high resolution and a conformal array with an aspirator for fixing the breast in place. In this article, an outline of the equipment and clinical test results are presented.
