Abstract

This paper presents an initial study towards the development of a multimodal breast imaging technique that combines Positron Emission Mammography (PEM) and Ultra WideBand (UWB) radar which has the potential to be complementary in breast cancer detection and classification due to the different types of information provided by the two modalities. The first step in evaluating test the potential of the multimodal PEM-UWB technique is to develop realistic numerical breast and tumour models, which can simultaneously be used for both PEM and UWB.
