? 2022 Elsevier LtdIn recent statistics, lung cancer is the most severe cause of death among all type of cancers. Here, we are presenting a nondestructive and noninvasive imaging methodology for lung cancer detection i.e., microwave holographic reflectometry. A precise tissue equivalent lung phantom is proposed and developed with the tumor inside for various depth and positions. Multiple experiments have been performed with the tumor at multiple depths inside the lung at operating frequency i.e., 10 GHz. The qualitative findings show that the tumor of size 5 mm is detected and identified at various depths during multiple experiments. The reconstructed phase values and dielectric properties are used to calculate the exact depth of tumors. The proof of concept presented in the paper determines the position and depth of the tumor within the lungs. Since, there is a utilization of miniaturized components, the entire system becomes small, which can be further improved to make the technique a viable alternative to CT scanning.
