Microwave imaging is acquiring a growing importance in several biomedical applications, such as breast and brain stroke diagnosis and monitoring. In this work, a preliminary feasibility analysis concerning the application of such a technique to the monitoring of cervical myelopathy is reported. In particular, suitable working conditions are...

An inverse scattering method working at microwave frequencies for cervical diagnostics is proposed in this work. The aim is the diagnosis of cervical myelopathy, which is a disease that affects the first part of the spinal cord (between the C3 and C7 vertebra). A preliminary feasibility analysis oriented toward the development of an imaging...

A microwave imaging approach for the diagnosis of neck diseases is proposed in this paper. Specifically, the case study of cervical myelopathy has been considered. The developed technique aims at retrieving the distributions of the dielectric properties of a cross section of the neck, from which information about the spinal canal size can be...

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) systems are nowadays standard inspection tools in several application areas, such as subsurface prospecting, civil engineering and cultural heritage monitoring. Usually, the raw output of GPR is provided as a B-scan, which has to be further processed in order to extract the needed information about the inspected...

In the last decades, ever growing efforts have been devoted to the development of techniques for extracting information from Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) measurements. In particular, the processed data are used to retrieve two different kinds of features. The first kind includes the socalled qualitative properties of buried targets, which are...

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...

Recounts the career and contributions of (Matteo Pastorino).

Quantitative inversion of GPR data opens the door to precise characterization of underground environments. However, in order to make the inverse scattering problem solution easier from a computational viewpoint, simplifying assumptions are often applied, i.e., two-dimensional approximations or the consideration of idealized field probes and...
