Hybrid binary-real GA for microwave breast tomography

The recent information about breast tissue properties presented in [1] was used to design a new inverse scattering method for the application of breast imaging. The proposed method uses the combination of real and binary GAs which reduces the computational cost. The binary GA was used for the discrete search space that only finds the type of the tissue and real GA was used to find the water content percentage which covers a domain of real variables. The method was tested on a simulated example and showed promising results. Future studies will be performed to verify this method with experimental data.
