摘要 |
A multi-modality system and method for performing screening/detection, imaging and diagnosis/characterization of materials and objects in dense compressive media, such as in medical soft tissue applications, is disclosed. Medical tissue applications include but are not limited to the detection and diagnosis of breast tumors. Generally, the present invention involves coupling an ultrasound subsystem for exciting target tissues with a microwave subsystem for measuring the response, imaging and diagnosing the target tissues.
