Core Tip Microwave breast imaging (MBI) offers a non-ionizing, cost-effective alternative to traditional breast imaging, particularly beneficial for women with dense breast tissue. By exploiting dielectric contrasts between malignant and healthy tissues, MBI-through techniques like microwave tomography and confocal radar imaging-shows promise in early detection. Despite challenges like limited spatial resolution and anatomical variability, advancements in antenna design, machine learning, and real-time imaging continued to push MBI closer to clinical integration, especially in low-resource or high-risk settings.
