Microwave contrast imaging of breast tis-sue from local velocity estimation

Journal article

This paper proposes a new method to display microwave images of breast tissue, based on estimation of local microwave velocity from time of flight measurements. Its computational demands are low compared with tomography. It has two major components: 1) the estimation of the travel time of microwaves across the tissue between a set of antennae using a wavelet decomposition, and 2) the estimation of the microwave velocity field from the set of travel times using a low dimensional set of radial ...
