Abstract :
A nonlinear three-dimensional time-domain inverse scattering method was investigated, and was used to successfully reconstruct accurate 3D images of various unknown objects using time-domain data. It was shown that this technique has a resolution of 0.1 wavelength. This method could present a promising tool for the early-stage breast cancer detection as well as other medical imaging applications.
