Abstract :
In this paper a complete UWB Circular Tomographic System robust to high contrast or large objects, applied to Breast Tumor Detection, is presented. The main contribution of this paper is to focus on the implementation of a two degrees of freedom imaging setup in order to deal with non-symmetric objects and to demonstrate its functionality with realistic breast phantoms.
