A Comprehensive Review of Microwave Imaging for Brain Tumour Detection

TL;DR

This paper reviews microwave imaging techniques that utilize antenna radiation properties and dielectric differences to detect brain tumors by analyzing S11 parameters, offering a non-invasive diagnostic approach.

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive overview of microwave imaging methods for brain tumor detection, emphasizing the use of antenna radiation and dielectric property analysis.

Findings

S11 parameters differ between tumor and normal tissues

Microwave imaging can distinguish cancerous from healthy cells

Antenna-based dielectric analysis aids in tumor detection

Abstract

Antennas are known to radiate and absorb radiation. We can use this property of antennas in microwave imaging. In microwave imaging the dielectric of the surrounding objects is considered. The S11 parameters are studied. These parameters are different for cells with tumor and without. This helps us in distinguishing between normal and cancerous cells. So this is a property utilized in brain tumor detection.
