Abstract
We conduct an finite‐difference time‐domain computational electromagnetic analysis of the safety of ultrawideband microwave breast cancer detection techniques. Pulses are transmitted into anatomically realistic MRI‐derived numerical breast phantoms with different levels of tissue heterogeneity as well as foreign entities such as implants and surgical clips, and the specific absorption is computed. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
