Contrast In Dielectric Properties of Skin Lesions

Dielectric Spectroscopy on 146 Samples

A comprehensive dielectric spectroscopy study is conducted for the first time to characterize the ultra-wideband dielectric properties of freshly excised normal and malignant skin tissues obtained from skin cancer patients having undergone Mohs micrographic surgeries at Hackensack University Medical Center. Measurements are conducted using a precision slim-form open-ended coaxial probe in conjunction with a millimeter-wave vector network analyzer over the frequency range of 0.5-50 GHz. A one-pole Cole-Cole model is fitted to the complex permittivity dataset of each sample. 


Statistically significant differences observed between normal skin and both cancer types (p < 0.05)

Synthetic Ultra-Wideband Imaging

An ultra-wide imaging frequency band (fL to fH) is divided into several adjacent sub-bands. Each is covered by a sub-band imaging element.
