Journal ArticleDOI

A large-scale study of the ultrawideband microwave dielectric properties of normal, benign and malignant breast tissues obtained from cancer surgeries

TL;DR: A large-scale study to experimentally determine the ultrawideband microwave dielectric properties of a variety of normal, malignant and benign breast tissues, measured from 0.5 to 20 GHz using a precision open-ended coaxial probe shows that the contrast in the microwave-frequency dielectrics properties betweenmalignant and normal adipose-dominated tissues in the breast is considerable, as large as 10:1.
Journal ArticleDOI

A large-scale study of the ultrawideband microwave dielectric properties of normal breast tissue obtained from reduction surgeries.

TL;DR: It is revealed that there is a large variation in the dielectric properties of normal breast tissue due to substantial tissue heterogeneity, and there is no statistically significant difference between the within-patient and between-patient variability in the Dielectric Properties.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electromagnetic Spectroscopy of Normal Breast Tissue Specimens Obtained From Reduction Surgeries: Comparison of Optical and Microwave Properties

TL;DR: The results suggest that combining optical and microwave modalities for analyzing breast tissue samples may serve as a crosscheck and provide complementary information about tissue composition.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

The dielectric properties of normal and malignant breast tissue at microwave frequencies: analysis, conclusions, and implications from the wisconsin/calgary study

TL;DR: A large-scale joint study is conducted at the Universities of Wisconsin and Calgary to experimentally characterize the wideband dielectric properties at microwave frequencies of freshly excised normal, benign, and malignant breast tissues obtained from breast reduction as well as cancer surgeries.
