Microwave Radar for Breast Screening: Initial Clinical Data with Suspicious-Lesion Patients

Abstract

We present results of a statistical analysis of patient measurements with a time-domain multistatic microwave radar for early breast cancer detection. The scanned patients varied in age, but all showed a suspicious lesion on a previous breast screening with a mammogram or MRI. We assess the correlation between the signal response of preprocessed data and specific patient attributes. The goal is to use the results towards optimizing the clinical prototype, in order to improve the overall signal quality for a future large-scale study.
