  • Abstract
    This paper describes a method for using composite models for characterizing the dielectric constant of breast tissues at microwave frequencies. This method is capable of finding the dielectric constant of a pixel in a Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) image as a function of its fat content.
