Abstract

The purpose of this contribution is breast malignant tumor detection through the confocal delay and sum reconstruction algorithm. The tumor signal is extracted from back- ground and used for reconstruction. For higher accuracy the scattered signal from all four UWB waveguide antennas, which are located around the breast, were used.
