Magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) enhanced microwave imaging has been recently proposed as a tool to pursue the diagnostics of breast cancer in an effective and reliable way. By means of a numerical analysis carried out under realistic conditions, this letter aims at assessing the measurement dynamic range (i.e., the measurement resolution), in terms of tumor size, nanoparticles concentration, and working frequency, required for an apparatus based on this diagnostic approach.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) enhanced microwave imaging has been recently proposed as a tool to pursue the diagnostics of breast cancer in an effective and reliable way. By means of a numerical analysis carried out under realistic conditions, this letter aims at assessing the measurement dynamic range (i.e., the measurement resolution), in terms of tumor size, nanoparticles concentration, and working frequency, required for an apparatus based on this diagnostic approach.File in questo prodotto:
