The microwave exposure device for microwave breast cancer detection consists of RF transceiver and several antennas. The microwave information of object acquired from the microwave exposure device can be calculated permittivity and conductivity by using the inverse scattered analysis. In this paper, we have developed the software for detecting breast cancers based on microwave tomography, by which users not only can check out the existence of breast cancers through the permittivity and conductivity information analysis of the object's internal, but also can analysis easily information for distribution of breast cancers. The developed software provides the function for visualizing the captured permittivity and conductivity information as 2D or 3D color images on which users can easily detect the existence of breast cancers. For more detailed analysis of tomography images, the proposed software also has provided the functions for displaying their cutting profiles as well as position and size information of special area in them.
