Abstract:
Microwave tomography is an emerging imaging modality that uses microwave measurements to create a quantitative image of the dielectric properties of the object being imaged. Since being cited as a promising avenue in the future of breast cancer research in a 1998 report by the U.S.
National Cancer Institute, microwave tomography has been a topic of growing interest. This talk will review the progress made, over the last two decades, in handling the two main challenges which delayed the development of microwave tomography as a clinical tool. These two challenges are (1) reconstruction algorithms and (2) measurement systems.
