In this paper, an inverse scattering technique referred to as the filtered forward-backward time-stepping method is applied to microwave imaging for breast cancer detection. A two-dimensional numerical breast phantom (derived from MR images) with high contrast between fat and fibroglandular tissues, and low contrast between fibroglandular and tumor tissues are used to assess the efficacy of the proposed method.2010 URSI International Symposium on Electromagnetic Theory (EMTS 2010) : Berlin, Germany, 2010.08.16-2010.08.1
