Abstract
Ultra wide band (UWB) microwave imaging has recently been proposed for detecting small malignant breast tumors and is expected to detect breast tumors with safety, com- fort and precision for high resolution of UWB pulse. In this paper, we propose a new imaging method that uses circle ap- proximation to detect the cancer in order for automatically detection without doctors' analysis. Our proposal method measures a radius of a cancer, and decides the center point of cancers on the circumference. The method is simulated by 2D FDTD method. As the result, our method showed higher detection accuracy of a center position and a radius of a circle formed cancer than conventional method.
