Abstract
Microwave imaging reconstruction is applied to an anatomically realistic, numerical head phantom using the Born iterative method for detection of a haemorrhagic stroke within the brain tissues. A forward model is used to estimate back-scattered signals which are subsequently used in the image reconstruction process. Image reconstruction using excitation signals at 850 MHz is shown to produce the emulated stroke with a high contrast particular to the estimated conductivity profile.
