In this article, the approach based on the inverse circular radon transform technique (ICRT) is proposed to obtain the image of the breast cancer screening based on microwaves. A simplified numerical breast model is constructed and computational results are obtained with the use of synthetic aperture radar principle. A tumor phantom is produced and the experimental results are acquired by using sand, screw and phantoms with the use of an experimental setup prototype that is also presented in this study. The simulation results are verified and validated by experimental results. The resultant images generated using the simulated and experimental data show a good agreement with the designed scenarios.
