Microwave Imaging (MWI) is rapidly growing up as a safe method for cancer diagnosis. It detects a tumour and has a high specificity in differentiating malignant and benign tumours due to the significant dielectric contrast between malignant and healthy tissues at microwave frequencies.
System Configuration: We propose two types of system with Ultra-Wideband (UWB) antennas:
- Portable robotic-station based on a pair of antennas for large area scan imaging
- Wearable antenna array for small area screening
Primary Targets: Breast and Lung cancers, which are two most common forms of cancer affecting the world are investigated in this research
The principal objectives of the study include:
- Artifical Phantom for Different Parts of Human Torso such as Women Breast
- Minimization and Optimisation of Antenna Design for Wearable Application
- Fabrication of Antennas using various of Advanced Manufacturing Methods
- Development of Confocal Microwave Imaging Algorithm for Clinical Diagnosis
- Networking Local Device with Cloud and Internet of Thing(IoT) Platforms for System's Performance Optimisation
