If the early detection can be carried out on the tumor, the death rate of the patient can be greatly reduced, and the treatment difficulty and the pain of the tumor patient are reduced. Since in the early stage of carcinogenesis, as the tumor grows, it reaches the surrounding normal tissue to become cancerous, there is a significant difference in electromagnetic parameters between normal tissue and tumor tissue. Based on the characteristics of computational electromagnetism, it is possible to identify the slight difference by performing numerical calculation on a human tissue structure model, so that the microwave imaging method for early detection of tumor is gradually popularized in the industry in recent years.
However, in the existing research, much researchers focus on the ultra-wideband microwave imaging technology and the detection of relatively single dispersive models of tissues (such as breast cancer) by using FDTD.
These techniques have the following problems:
(1) The ultra-wideband microwave imaging technology is used for realizing early detection and positioning of tumors (such as breast tumors) under a dispersive model, and the tumors cannot be imaged well in a complex environment (such as the inside of a human brain).
(2) The traditional methods such as the nuclear magnetic resonance imaging method, the cerebrovascular angiography method, the stereotactic biopsy method and other detection means have the problems of high cost, high expenditure, low sensitivity and accuracy and the like.

Detailed Description
The invention is described in further detail below with reference to the following figures and examples, which should not be construed as limiting the invention.
Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a brain tumor detection method based on FDTD antenna array confocal imaging algorithm according to the present invention; as shown in fig. 1, the method comprises the following steps:
s1, establishing a three-dimensional model and a two-dimensional slice model of a human brain;
specifically, as shown in fig. 2: s11, obtaining a human body Zubal three-dimensional structure model according to scanning: each human tissue has its label, and different tissue types are determined by these labels. The reference numbers here have been determined by relatively well-established NMR models, so that the file names correspond directly to the number of slices in the partition.
S12, gridding the three-dimensional model of the human body structure;
s13, obtaining a head two-dimensional model through model slicing;
gridding allows each tissue to be composed of small pieces resembling "cells" for easy viewing. In fact, the gridding process is a process of matrix characteristic arrangement, the ID file is actually a coded large matrix, the numerical value of each element in the matrix is actually the number of the corresponding organization, the size of the whole matrix is input according to needs, the whole matrix and an air layer form a human body model close to reality, and then Mesh (gridding) is carried out on the human body model.
S2, establishing a radiation simulation antenna array and an excitation source;
specifically, as shown in fig. 3: s21, for the requirements of antenna design, the number of the antennas is reduced as much as possible, and the cost is reduced, so that a circle of antennas are uniformly placed on the surface of the skin, the error which possibly occurs can be discretized, and the accuracy of signal receiving is improved.
The FDTD (finite Difference time Domain) algorithm principle is as follows:
the FDTD algorithm core is that electric field intensity and magnetic field intensity components are alternately sampled and dispersed in time and space, a Maxwell rotation equation is changed into a differential equation through the dispersion mode, so that iterative solution in time is facilitated, the purpose can be achieved without matrix inversion operation, and as long as initial values and boundary conditions in the solved problem are given, the distribution of space electromagnetic fields at each later moment can be obtained sequentially and gradually by the FDTD method, and the space electromagnetic fields can be solved sequentially and gradually in time.
S22, the scheme adopts a configuration mode of separating transmitting and receiving antennas:
s221, a transmitting antenna and a receiving antenna, combining the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna into the same antenna (i.e. implementing single-transmitting and single-receiving), and calculating the scattering parameter S11.
S222, a transmitting antenna is provided with multiple receiving antennas (i.e. single-transmitting and multiple-receiving are implemented), and an antenna array is formed, and the scattering parameters S21, S31, S41, etc. are calculated respectively. This reduces the stringent requirements on the antenna design.
And S23, a confocal imaging algorithm is adopted to avoid complex scattered field calculation, and Gaussian modulation pulses are selected as a signal source.
S3, grouping and selecting different frequencies and different transmitting and receiving antenna groups for detection;
s4, executing a confocal imaging algorithm to execute target detection;
as shown in fig. 4, the step S4 specifically includes:
s41, detecting each group of antennas and frequencies in an antenna position matrix and a frequency matrix;
s42, supposing that each grid in the grid model is a possible tumor grid, connecting the selected tumor imaginary points with transmitting and receiving antennas to form a path;
s43, traversing the head two-dimensional section grid model matrix, finding out tissue small blocks on a connecting line, counting the number of various tissue small blocks, calculating the total phase shift of scattering parameters of all the small blocks, and comparing the total phase shift with the phase shift of the scattering parameters calculated by electromagnetic values to obtain the similarity value of the tumor hypothetical position;
it is worth mentioning that: because each tissue material has its inherent dielectric constant and conductivity, the gaussian modulated pulse will produce a certain amount of phase shift when passing through different materials, and this amount of phase shift not only represents the phase shift inside the material but also represents the phase shift of the boundary when passing through the boundary of different materials. And this phase shift is not only related to the conductivity and dielectric constant of the material, but also to the frequency of the external antenna source at which it is located.
Because the grid matrix is large, not only various tissue structures of the human brain but also an air layer are included, and the phase change of the Gaussian modulation pulse in the air is large and cannot be ignored. Therefore, during calculation, a method of calculating scattering parameters to make difference and then calculating phase shift under the two conditions of assuming whether the point is a tumor imaginary point is adopted, and the phase shift result is quantized to be within the range of 0-2 pi and unified into an arc system. The method effectively reduces echo interference of other tissues and scattering interference of an air layer.
Comparing the scattering parameter phase shift calculated by the method with the calculated scattering parameter phase shift (calculating a difference value), and quantifying the result within the range of 0-1 to obtain the tumor probability (similarity) of the tumor hypothesis point, wherein the closer the value is to 0, the more likely the tumor hypothesis point is to be an actual tumor point;
and S44, returning to the step S42 to select different grid points as tumor hypothesis points again until all possible tissue points on the grid are traversed, and obtaining a similarity matrix of the whole grid.
The working principle of the step S4 is as follows:
the principle of the method is relatively simple, the calculated amount is relatively small, the method is relatively safe, no ray radiation exists, the method does not enter the human body, no oppression is caused, normal tissues are not damaged, the method has considerable detection effect on small-diameter tumors, the resource consumption and the medical cost are relatively low, more people can bear the method, and therefore the microwave imaging method has certain development potential compared with the traditional tumor detection method.
The detection method of the antenna array confocal imaging uses the antenna array radiation detection area which is set up in advance, and a series of antennas are arranged as receiving antennas to be used for receiving the returned electromagnetic signals, and the distance between the reflection point and the signal source is reversely deduced by using the special scattering parameters. Researches show that microwaves with high frequency and high bandwidth can better distinguish tumors, but high-frequency signals are scattered and attenuated very quickly in space propagation, and GHz-bandwidth signals are preferred as tumor detection signals for the sake of image clarity and detection accuracy. Microwave tomography and microwave confocal imaging are two common ways of active microwave imaging.
The microwave tomography utilizes an electromagnetic field outside a scatterer to invert the electromagnetic characteristic parameter distribution of an imaging area so as to obtain the position and the size of a tumor, and the method is combined with a time domain finite difference method at present. The method is characterized in that an integral space model is discretized, the integral space model is divided into a plurality of small space lattices, then the signals received by a receiving antenna are utilized to carry out space-time difference on an electromagnetic field equation, the propagation path of the ultra-bandwidth electromagnetic signals in brain tissues is simulated, and reverse simulation is carried out, so that tumors are positioned. The method is novel, safe and reliable, has a strong electromagnetism theory as a support, and can theoretically accurately position the position of the target to be measured as long as the operation calculation is correct.
