Abstract

Incomplete measurement aperture, presence of large fatty tissues, huge number of unknowns, etc., make reconstruction of the breast tumors very difficult using a single technique. This paper shows breast tumor detection method that complements the contemporary diffusion optical tomography technique with microwave imaging technique to robustly reconstruct multiple breast tumors in the presence of several fatty tissues.
