Abstract

In this paper, a preliminary study related to the detection of breast cancer based on a computational millimetre-wave (mmW) imaging system is presented at K-band frequencies. In comparison to normal tissues, the different dielectric properties (permittivity and conductivity) of the malignant tissues can be exploited in order to detect the presence of tumour through a mmW imaging system. This work demonstrates the detection of breast tumour as an application of a computational imaging technique by leveraging the concept of the dynamic metasurface antenna (DMA) aperture as a transmitter. In this framework, the computational imaging aperture can provide a compact system design with a low-cost deployment for detecting tumours in early-stage, and this can speed up the screening process of the population at risk. Particularly, early detection of Stage 1 can help with the determination of the best treatment method and enhance a patient’s prognosis.
