摘要
This work presents a clinical prototype for microwave breast imaging via multistatic radar using time-domain measurements. The imaging system involves a 16-element broadband antenna array that is integrated into a table for ease of interfacing with patients. We briefly describe the imaging system and discuss its incorporation into a tool appropriate for patient use, focusing on both medical and practical aspects. Further, we demonstrate the functionality of the complete system by reconstructing images of malignant tissues within realistically shaped and sized breast models.
