Abstract
Corn syrup and glycerine are proposed as suitable breastโphantom materials. These materials when diluted with water in definite proportions can serve as phantoms for normal, benign, and malign breastโtissue samples. Dielectric permittivity and conductivity studies of these materials are performed using the cavityโperturbation technique in the frequency range of 2.4โ3.2 GHz. The results are compared with the in vitro breastโtissue data and good agreement is reported. These materials are also useful as coupling media in microwave medical imaging. ยฉ 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
