Advancements in non-invasive neuroimaging: exploring the potential of radar technology for brain imaging and tumour detection
This study investigates radar technology for non-invasive brain imaging and tumour detection, offering an alternative to MRI and CT scans. Using Ansys HFSS to simulate electromagnetic interactions in brain tissues, we evaluate the penetration, signal strength, and safety of Patch and Vivaldi antennas. Results show Patch antennas are optimal for tumour localization, while Vivaldi antennas suit broader scanning applications. Although promising for safer, more accessible imaging, especially in resource-limited environments, further research with diverse models and actual patient data is essential to advance this technology in non-invasive medical diagnostics.

Abstract
This study investigates radar technology for non-invasive brain imaging and tumour detection, offering an alternative to MRI and CT scans. Using Ansys HFSS to simulate electromagnetic interactions in brain tissues, we evaluate the penetration, signal strength, and safety of Patch and Vivaldi antennas. Results show Patch antennas are optimal for tumour localization, while Vivaldi antennas suit broader scanning applications. Although promising for safer, more accessible imaging, especially in resource-limited environments, further research with diverse models and actual patient data is essential to advance this technology in non-invasive medical diagnostics.
