Medical microwave imaging using novel near-field focusing plates

提出了新的医学成像设备，从而导致小尺寸乳腺肿瘤的早期检测。拟议的设备基于微波技术，因此是非电离的，成本低，更容易被接受检查的妇女接受，消除了对乳房压迫的需要（如X射线乳房X线摄影）。这些设备将在拉夫堡大学进行研究和开发，并与大学医院莱斯特合作。在严格的计算机模拟后，将在实验室中对代表性乳房模型进行初步测试。

Novel medical imaging devices are proposed leading to early detection of small size breast tumours. The proposed devices are based on microwave technology and are therefore non-ionising, low-cost and more acceptable to the women being examined, eliminating the need for breast compression (as in X-ray mammography). The devices will be researched and developed in Loughborough University and in collaboration with the University Hospitals Leicester. Initial tests will be carried out on representative breast phantoms in the lab following rigorous computer simulations.
