乳腺癌的分期很大程度上取决于评估腋窝淋巴结是否有癌细胞。这项工作提出了一种使用超宽带微波成像雷达系统检测淋巴结转移的非侵入性方法。使用该系统创建腋窝的能量分布，其中高能量区域可能表明转移淋巴结的存在。
Breast cancer staging largely depends on the evaluation of whether there are cancer cells in the axillary lymph nodes. This work proposes a non-invasive method of detecting metastases in the lymph nodes using an Ultra-Wideband Microwave Imaging radar system. Energy profiles of the axilla are created with this system in which high energy regions may indicate the presence of metastasised lymph nodes.
