摘要
Ultra-wideband sensing and imaging provides perspectives for early-stage breast cancer detection. This paper deals with problems related to the accurate three-dimensional identification of the breast surface. The applicability of the published and recently extended Boundary Scattering Transform (BST) is investigated. The so far planar scanning of the antennas is extended to a spatial scanning in order to reconstruct the whole breast region. The corresponding Boundary Scattering Transform equations for bi-static measurements are presented. The experimental study is carried out based on two female dressmaker torsos. The results demonstrate the potential of the developed approach for a shape reconstruction as a base of breast interior imaging.
