Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system for imaging tissue includes a millimeter wave Quasi-optical backward wave oscillator. Tumorous tissue is detected in a reconstructed image using solvable inverse image reconstruction techniques. In one embodiment, three-dimensional breast imaging is enabled by providing radiation as a focused energy beam over a wide frequency range and at power levels to penetrate breast tissue disposed within dielectric compression plates.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for imaging tissue comprising: providing a quasi-optical millimeter wave spectrometer having millimeter wave radiation from a backward-wave oscillator (BWO); modulating the radiation using a ferrite modulator; transforming the modulated radiation into a paraxial Gaussian beam; compressing the tissue between a pair of dielectric compression plates; transmitting the paraxial Gaussian beam through the compressed tissue; and detecting ti…
