MICROWAVE NEARFIELD RADAR IMAGING (NRI) USING DIGITAL BREAST TOMOSYNTHESIS (DBT) FOR NON-INVASIVE BREAST CANCER DETECTION

摘要

In some aspects, the disclosure is directed methods and systems for granular imaging of a distribution of tissues. A tomographic device may acquire a first image of a distribution of tissues, the first image including a plurality of pixels. A tomographic image processor may translate at least some of the plurality of pixels of the first image into a plurality of values representative of a distribution of dielectric constants corresponding to the distribution of tissues. A nearfield radar imaging (NRI) system may generate a second image of the distribution of tissues based on the plurality of values.

1. A method for granular imaging of a distribution of tissues, the method comprising:
(a) acquiring, by a tomographic device, a first image of a distribution of tissues, the first image including a plurality of pixels; (b) translating at least some of the plurality of pixels of the first image into a plurality of values representative of a distribution of dielectric constants corresponding to the distribution of tissues; and (c) generating, by a nearfield radar imaging (NRI) system, a second image of the distribution of tissues based on the plurality of values.
