摘要：
In this paper, a sensitivity study aimed to evaluate how the field scattered by a malignant tumor is influenced by the operation frequency f(o) of the microwave tomographic diagnostic system, and by the permittivity epsilon(f) of the matching fluid, is presented. The study has been carried out exploiting accurate anthropomorphic numerical breast phantoms in conjunction with the Contrast Source Integral Equation. Numerical results provide useful insights towards an optimal choice of these parameters able to enhance the cancer's detectability.
