    Författare :Samar Hosseinzadegan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; microwave imaging; forward problem; breast cancer; tomography; computation time.;

    Sammanfattning : Breast cancer has the highest incidence rate of cancers in women worldwide. Early detection results in a higher survival rate. Drawbacks in conventional imaging modalities, including painful exams, have limited periodic breast screening. LÄS MER
