ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for cancerous tumor detection employing a plurality of microwave antennae supported in an array conforming substantially in size to the breast that is being screened. In one embodiment of the invention a single array is used and another embodiment for larger breasts a pair of arrays are used. A microwave radiometer is used for detecting temperature readings corresponding respectively to the breast temperature at sites underlying the receiving antennae. Also, in accordance with the invention compression is employed so as to reduce tissue thickness enabling far more rapid reading of antenna sites.
