Abstract EN
As new algorithms for microwave imaging emerge, it is important to have standard accurate benchmarking tests.
Currently, most researchers use homogeneous phantoms for testing new algorithms.
These simple structures lack the heterogeneity of the dielectric properties of human tissue and are inadequate for testing these algorithms for medical imaging.
To adequately test breast microwave imaging algorithms, the phantom has to resemble different breast tissues physically and in terms of dielectric properties.
We propose a systematic approach in designing phantoms that not only have dielectric properties close to breast tissues but also can be easily shaped to realistic physical models.
The approach is based on regression model to match phantom's dielectric properties with the breast tissue dielectric properties found in Lazebnik et al.
(2007).
However, the methodology proposed here can be used to create phantoms for any tissue type as long as ex vivo, in vitro, or in vivo tissue dielectric properties are measured and available.
Therefore, using this method, accurate benchmarking phantoms for testing emerging microwave imaging algorithms can be developed.
