Novel techniques for UWB microwave imaging of objects with canonical shape

Journal article

This paper describes the development of a new algorithm for use in a recently established technique for medical imaging based on ultrawideband (UWB) microwave signals rather than ionizing radiations such as x-rays. The method is based on Huygens principle (HP), which removes the need to solve inverse problems and, consequently, the need for matrix generation/inversion. In addition to its simplicity, it is shown that HP enables the detection of the extent to which different tissues, or differi...
