Summary:
This work describes a technique which has been developed for the detection and imaging of breast cancer tumours. It describes how 3D images can be reconstructed from 2D scalar intensity patterns, or holograms. An outline of the background theory in described followed by experimental results on paraffin wax breast phantoms Results demonstrate that this technique is capable of determining the location and extent of the simulated tumours within the breast phantom.
