Microwave Breast Imaging: Preliminary Phantoms Realization and Phaseless Reconstructions

In this work, a methodology involving amplitude-only microwave imaging, is described. The main features of the phaseless strategy are illustrated; then, some reconstruction scenarios are proposed, by investigating numerical breast models where the dielectric properties of the fabricated phantoms are integrated. Furthermore, in order to select the most suitable electromagnetic properties of the matching medium, a parametric modeling of a one-dimensional multi-layered structure is shown.
