title = "Variability in Clinical Data Obtained with Flexible Time-Domain Radiofrequency Breast Monitor",
abstract = "This work reports initial results of an extensive clinical trial of a microwave-range, conformal prototype for breast health monitoring. The clinical data was recorded with a multistatic time-domain radiofrequency radar on volunteering patients whose mammogram or MRI had previously indicated an abnormality. Before the results are processed using a range of techniques, data is analyzed for variability. In this study, we investigate the number of signals which exceed a prescribed threshold in terms of peak voltage. We assess whether those below the threshold are associated consistently with certain transreceiving antenna pairs. Such analysis with raw recorded signals can help us optimize antenna placement in future versions of the prototype system.",
