Ultrashort-Pulse-Microwave Excited Whole-Breast Thermoacoustic Imaging With Uniform Field of Large Size Aperture Antenna for Tumor Screening

Microwave-induced thermoacoustic imaging (MTAI) has been widely used in biomedical science, and has the potential as an auxiliary measure for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Recently, there are increasing interests in using ultrashort microwave-pumped thermoacoustic imaging techniques to obtain high-efficiency, high-resolution images. However, the traditional imaging system can only provide unif...
