Abstract
We have developed a microwave imaging device for breast cancer imaging that can be used concurrently inside an MR imaging system. The microwave measurement system is comprised of a horizontal array of 16 monopole antennas that can be moved vertically for full 3D coverage of the breast. All compatibility issues have been addressed. The motion is achieved using a novel 3D printed gearing device. Initial results demonstrate that the system is capable of accurately recovering the size, shape, location and properties of a 3D shape varying object. This is a critical step towards clinical microwave breast imaging in the MR.
