dc.description.abstract | Microwave imaging is a promising imaging modality for
the early detection of breast cancer. The two most important
signal processing components of a radar-based microwave
imaging system are the early-time artifact removal and the
image reconstruction algorithm. Several image reconstruction
algorithms have been developed and their performance
has been evaluated in a number of studies. However, most
of these evaluation studies were either performed on numerical
breast phantoms or used an idealized artifact removal
algorithm. In this paper, a range of both data independent
and data adaptive imaging algorithms are evaluated using
experimental breast phantoms in combination with a realistic
artifact removal algorithm. The clutter rejection capabilities
of each algorithm are assessed in the presence of
experimental noise and residual artifacts using a range of
appropriate image quality metrics. | en_IE |
