On the Development of Breast-Like Tissue-Mimicking Phantoms
In this paper, a simple, low-cost and reproducible procedure for the production of phantoms to emulate the dielectric (up to 40 GHz) and morphological characteristics of the breast is presented. The presented results show that the procedure does not alter the dielectric properties of the samples under test and allows for the fabrication of phantoms with increasing complex internal structures close to the real-world scenario. These phantoms are suitable for use in the evaluation of innovative biomedical microwave and millimeter-wave prototypes.
