Abstract :
Tissue sensing adaptive radar detects tumors based on the differences in electrical properties of healthy and malignant breast tissues. This paper presents results for simple experimental models and computer simulations of a larger diameter cylindrical model and more realistic hemispherical model. The results suggest that TSAR imaging is a promising method for breast tumor detection.
