Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women in various parts of the world. Currently the primary method for breast screening is X-ray mammography and in rare cases Magnetic Resonance Imaging. X-ray mammography has saved many lives, but the technology still produces a relativity high number of false negative and false positive diagnoses. In the last decade, active microwave techniques have attracted considerable interest as viable alternatives to X-ray mammography. This project aims at the design and development of a low-cost microwave system, which will complement X-ray mammography as a breast cancer diagnosis tool.

乳腺癌是世界各地妇女中最常见的癌症。目前，乳房筛查的主要方法是X射线乳房摄影术，在极少数情况下是磁共振成像。X射线乳腺摄影术挽救了许多生命，但该技术仍然产生相对较高的假阴性和假阳性诊断。在过去的十年中，主动微波技术作为X射线乳房X线摄影术的可行替代品吸引了相当大的兴趣。该项目旨在设计和开发一种低成本微波系统，作为乳腺癌诊断工具补充乳房X射线照相术。
