Electromagnetic biomedical imaging in Banach spaces: A numerical case study

Abstract

This paper reports the results of the application of a microwave imaging method developed in Banach spaces to a model of human head in presence of a hemorrhagic brain stroke. The approach is based on the integral equations of the inverse scattering problem. A Gauss-Newton scheme is adopted as a solving procedure. Being developed in Banach spaces, the method turns out to be quite efficient in reducing the over-smoothing effects usually associated to Hilbert-space reconstructions. Numerical simulations are reported involving a realistic model of human head.
