Clinical trial of Microwave Tomography imaging

This paper describes clinical trial and results of a microwave tomography system. This system was designed as a clinical trial prototype operating at 3GHz to 6GHz to detect woman-breast cancers. The subject numbers were 15 and it was non-blind test. Their images were reconstructed by the algorithm with a unique fast electromagnetic solver. Radiology doctors analyzed 30 images of 15 subjects and confirmed its working and feasibility.
