Abstract
- In this study, we present the initial results of the Clinical Validation of a Novel Microwave Apparatus for Testing Breast Integrity. Huygens Principle is used to process microwave signals and construct a correspondent image. We compare microwave images with respect to echography and/or mammogram diagnosis. From the microwave images obtained by the first 8 subjects, it is possible to conclude that microwave images of non-healthy subjects have a signal to clutter ratio approximately 10% greater than that of the healthy subjects. Moreover, for one subject (arbitrarily selected) we also show that the localization of the inclusion obtained through microwave imaging is in agreement with mammography images.
