In this paper we present the T-SCAN(TM) technology and its use as a diagnostic tool for breast cancer detection. We show, using theoretical models with simplified geometries, that displaying planar two-dimensional maps of the currents detected at the breast's surface relate to the electric field distribution within the breast. This distribution is a manifestation of the bulk spatial inhomogeneities in the complex dielectric constant that represent the various tissue types. These differences may be used to discriminate between various pathological states. We furthermore illustrate a useful classifier, based on admittance data measured up to 2 kHz, and we argue that low frequency impedance measurements can be used successfully in breast cancer diagnosis.
