Human Illness

Due to the successful union between computational technologies and basic laws of physics and biological sciences, many biomedical imaging systems now find significant presence in clinical settings, aiding physicians in diagnosing most forms of human illness with more confidence. In the case of breast imaging, apart from the basic diagnosis, these imaging systems also help in locating the abnormal tissues for biopsy, identifying the exact margins of the lesion for good lumpectomy results, staging and restaging the cancer, detecting locations of metastases, and planning and following up treatment protocols. It is well known that early detection of cancer is the only way to increase the survival rate of the patient. Without such imaging systems, it would be hard and almost impossible for the physicians to determine the nature and extent of the disease by merely simple physical examinations and biopsies. This article presents a description of most of these invaluable breast-imaging systems. Moreover, a comparison of these modalities and a review of a few of the developments these devices have come across over the years are also given.

This paper investigates the time-domain performance of a switchable filter impulse radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) antenna for microwave breast imaging applications. A miniaturized CPW-fed integrated filter antenna with switchable performance in the range of the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) bands could operate well within a 3.0 to 11 GHz frequency range. The time-domain performance of the filter antenna was investigated in comparison to that of the designed reference wideband antenna. By comparing both antennas’ time-domain characteristics, it was seen that the switchable filter antenna had good time-domain resolution along with the frequency-domain operation. Additionally, the time-domain investigation revealed that the switchable filter wide-band antenna performed similarly to the reference wide band antenna. This antenna was also utilized for a tumor detection application, and it was seen that the switchable filter wide-band antenna could detect a miniaturized irregularly shaped tumor easily, which is quite promising. Such an antenna with a good time-domain resolution and tumor detection capability will be a good candidate and will find potential applications in microwave breast imaging.

The increasing number of experimental microwave breast imaging systems and the need to properly model them have motivated our development of an integrated numerical characterization technique. We use Ansoft HFSS and a formalism we developed previously to numerically characterize anS-parameter- based breast imaging system and link it to an inverse scattering algorithm. We show successful reconstructions of simple test objects using synthetic and experimental data. We demonstrate the sensitivity of image reconstructions to knowledge of the background dielectric properties and show the limits of the current model.
