Realistic Breast Models for Second Generation Tissue Sensing Adaptive Radar System

Radar-based breast cancer detection methods require rigorous testing before clinical application. Therefore, realistic breast models in terms of shape, size and electrical properties are needed. Magnetic resonance images are typically segmented to create these realistic breast models. This paper introduces five breast models of increasing complexity. Tumour reflections from each model are focussed with the TSAR algorithm, and detection results are calculated for each model.
