Abstract

This paper is a study of the propagation characteristic of matching liquids in the skin-covered breast model. In order to evaluate the matching liquids, we investigated six kinds of matching liquids applied to proposed 1-D breast model from frequency range of 3~6 GHz. A uniform plane wave is projected / transmitted inside the multi-layered breast model. Then the propagation characteristics inside the model and the transmission loss of each matching liquids were analyzed. The studying method presented in the paper can be used in the breast cancer detection system, the field of cancer detection using human tissue and the field of other medical devices. This paper was applied to the breast cancer detection system. Consequently, these studies could be used to determine the suitable type of matching liquids for breast cancer detection system and to apply useful for performance analysis.

본 논문은 피부를 포함하는 유방 모델에서 정합 액체의 전파 특성에 관한 연구 내용이다. 정합 액체의 분석을 위해 6개 타입의 정합 액체를 제안된 1-D 유방 모델에 적용하여 3~6 GHz의 주파수 대역에서 분석 연구를 수행하였다. 균일한 평면파가 1-D 유방 모델 내부의 복합 매질의 경계면에 입사되어 반사/투과되어 나타나는 전파 특성과 각 정합 액체의 전송 선로 손실을 분석하였다. 본 논문에서 연구한 방법은 유방암 진단 시스템, 인체 조직을 이용한 암 진단 분야 및 기타 의료기기 분야에 활용될 수 있으며, 본 논문에서는 유방암 진단 시스템에 적용하였다. 본 연구는 향후 유방암 진단 시스템에 적용될 적절한 정합 액체를 선정하고, 성능을 분석하는데 유용하게 적용될 수 있다.
