Liquid Based Phantom Preparation and Dielectric Characterization for Breast Cancer Imaging

Developing of the phantom for specific reason like skin, fat, glandular and tumor for breast tissue is very important part of the actual measurement of the Devices or antenna which is useful for the breast cancer imaging system. Till now such phantom is not reported very clearly therefore in this paper we have attempted to develop the phantom material for different dielectric properties similar to breast phantom. In this proposed work Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) and NaCl and water based liquid phantom has been prepared for breast cancer imaging. Various range of the Dielectric properties of the mixture has been achieved with the variation of PEG, Water and NaCl. This liquid based phantom deals with the development of realistic breast phantom dedicated to microwave imaging for breast cancer detection. The Dielectric properties of the solution hass been measured from 1GHz to 10GHz .
