Brain tumor detection and size estimation using microwave imaging by Mohamad Hamizi Limbah, Dayangku Malisa Agku Mohd Ridzwan, Herwansyah Lago, Ahmad Razani Haron, Pungut Ibrahim, Megat Muhammad Ikhsan Megat Hasnan, Nur Aqilah Mohamad, Chai Chang Yii, Markus Diantoro

“…Placing the antenna 15 mm away from the human brain model results in a specific absorption rate (SAR) value of 0.2 W/kg for 10g, indicating its safety for brain imaging. By scanning a human head phantom with and without a tumor, the antenna captures reflected signals from different locations, enabling the generation of tumour images. …”
