Abstract :
A solution to the inverse problem of retrieving temperature from a set of microwave brightness temperatures together with a priori information regarding weighting functions and heat transfer within the infant head is introduced. The method offers the basis for non-invasive temperature monitoring appropriate for hypothermal neural rescue therapy
