Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and thermoacoustic imaging (TAI) are two emerging
biomedical imaging techniques that both utilize ultrasonic signals as an information carrier …

Breast cancer is anticipated to be responsible for almost 40,000 deaths in the USA in 2011.
The current clinical detection techniques suffer from limitations which motivated researchers …

Objective: As a newly developed technique, focused microwave breast hyperthermia
(FMBH) can provide accurate and cost-effective treatment of breast tumors with low side …

In this study, we develop a complete microwave-induced thermoacoustic imaging (TAI)
model for potential breast cancer imaging application. Acoustic pressures generated by …

The detection of early-stage tumors in the breast by microwave imaging is challenged by
both the moderate endogenous dielectric contrast between healthy and malignant glandular …

The experimental results reported in this paper suggest that single-walled carbon nanotubes
(SWCNTs) have the potential to enhance dielectric contrast between malignant and normal …

Breast imaging via microwave tomography involves estimating the distribution of dielectric
properties within the patient's breast on a discrete mesh. The number of unknowns in the …

In this work, graphene nanoribbons and nanoplatelets were investigated as contrast agents
for photoacoustic and thermoacoustic tomography (PAT and TAT). We show that oxidized …

In this paper, a microwave technique for breast cancer imaging is presented. The approach
is based on the use of magnetic nanoparticles as contrast agent to induce a nonnull …

Microwave-induced thermoacoustic imaging (MTAI) has emerged as a potential biomedical
imaging modality with over 20-year growth. MTAI typically employs pulsed microwave as the …
