Brain Stroke Microwave Diagnostics in Children Through a Nonlinear Inverse-Scattering Technique

This paper proposes the use of microwave techniques for the diagnosis and monitoring of stroke in children. The main objective is to initiate an investigation into paediatric stroke diagnosis through a preliminary assessment using numerical simulations with realistic 3D models representing the heads of stroke-affected children. A Newton-type iterative procedure with variable exponent Lebesgue space regularisation is proposed as a quantitative microwave-based reconstruction approach.
