(a)The breast volume under plane wave illumination in FEKO environment. (b) The Spherical coordinate system (𝑟,𝜃,𝜑) and the corresponding Cartesian coordinate system (𝑥,𝑦,𝑧) that are used in the FEKO environment. (c) Cross-sectional views (𝑥-𝑦 plane) of the breast volume under plane wave illumination. (d) Cross-sectional view (𝜑=45^∘, 𝜃=90^∘) of the breast volume under plane wave illuminations from 𝜃_𝑡=105^∘, 𝜑_𝑡=45^∘, and 𝜑_𝑡=225^∘, respectively.
